That's the complete opposite of the way Chrome was designed. I've rarely seen Chrome do a complete lock-up and close everything. The point of Chrome spinning up a new process per tab is that when one Tab crashed it doesn't take out the whole browser. Firefox on the other hand did this constantly. In fact the only thing that has prevented me going back, and I have regularly given it a try as I support their overall approach and support of web. So I am excited to see how Quantum feels. But if Chrome was constantly locking up and crashing completely I have to imagine its something wrong with your computer/OS.

Chrome hang on Linux is extremely common. Check this out https://www.google.co.in/search?q=chrome+hang+linux&oq=chrome+hang+linux https://www.google.co.in/search?q=chrome+hang+linux&oq=chrom... From what I understand, it has something to do with the way it does memory management along with cache. I don't know - but I have pretty much a flagship laptop and am running Fedora 26 which IMHO is the best OS out there right now. Chrome blows. Quantum rules.

Currently using both Chrome and Firefox, for me it's quite common that Chrome completely dies no freezing just completely and instantly dying. Maybe at most once every other week but it never really happens with Firefox (maybe once or twice per year).
