I agree in principle; in practice the idea would be that users rarely hit
this because:
* Alerts themselves don't happen too often
* Most tabs would have their own process since we'd solve the issues with
breaking connections between pages launched from various Google apps, users
type in lots of addresses manually or create new tabs, users have small
numbers of tabs, etc.
* Users would likely deal with alerts before they'd ended up using a
significant percentage of the rest of their open tabs
So, yes, when people actually see this, it would probably be somewhat
confusing; on the other hand we already have this confusion with the Task
Manager ("why are all these pages in one process?") and with renderers
crashing ("how come three tabs crashed at once?") and people mostly live
with it, so I see this as something where we could do better than what we're
doing now, even if it isn't perfect.
