Hey Avin,

I am using process isolation, but the issue is that the main chrome/firefox stops behaving normally. And it's not just on my pc. It's like the network stack crashes inside the browser or locks up or something like that.

I'll run into a situation where pages just no longer load. I can select an existing tab and scroll around, and click on things and sometimes the tab still works, sometimes it doesn't. Closing that tab and opening a new one and then entering a new url will just result in a blank page and nothing loads.

Restarting the browser solves the issue.

It's fairly rare these days, but sometimes the entire browser just 'breaks'.

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

Regards,
Avin
