Yes, every modern browser uses a separate process per browser tab. Besides the
mentioned Firefox and Chrome, Safari also does it. So generally a page crash
shouldn't affect anything but that page, or if a page consumes a lot of RAM or
CPU, it can be independently killed by a regular system process manager. --

Hey Mark,
I find this hard to believe as chrome uses process isolation per site
<https://www.chromium.org/Home/chromium-security/site-isolation> by default. I
believe firefox does too
<https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Firefox/Multiprocess_Firefox>.
Whenever a website crashes only that tab crashes. It will prompt you to recover
or kill that tab in isolation. I'm a web developer too and I sometimes let
infinite recursion get through in my apps but I usually end up being able to
kill the tab without affecting the rest of my work. Maybe the setting is turned
off on your pc, you can check here, chrome://flags/#site-isolation-trial-opt-out

Wow.. I go on vacation for a few days and I find this heated thread

Interesting history on why the removal of the 'native interface' occurred.
I do a lot of web work and routinely wind up with locked up or crashed
browsers, so having pgadmin4 run in a browser tab is less than ideal..
although sometimes I run firefox/chrome as another user to have some
memory/process separation so that not ALL of my browsers die when
chrome/firefox barfs up a big one. I suppose I could maintain yet
another user and make sure I start up pgadmin4 as that.
Would there be a possibility of embedding chromium? Since of course
it's actively developed and everyone including their pet cat are using
it as a rendering engine these days (including microsoft) Not sure of
the compatibility with the BSD license would go...
