surely, this is the whole point?

The model for Chrome is process based not thread based so you don't get this issue, but the footprint is larger.... All old browsers were thread based as they can then have a smaller footprint (and this was seen as a better thing), but the javascript from one site can bring the whole browser down...

It's swings and roundabouts, and unfortunately I don't see how there can be any happy middle ground unless someone comes up with a dramatic change to the way things are done
