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. --
