Details

Resolving new host name freezes whole browser. Nothing works and even the window does not refresh. Even other unrealted window with other page or mail/news. This might sometimes take even minute or two. (The worst is that usually the browser freezes just because some advertiser's site host name resolution.) Wouldn't it be possible to have a separate task for name resolution and work asynchornously with it? I noticed that Netscape 4.x has such process, but freezes anyway. Async. calls would be nice for this kind of all-freeze calls.
