Getting there will take a long time. Chrome got lucky - they've been working on this for ages, and they happened to be rolling this out right when Spectre landed.

(I think getting resource sharing down to a science will also be important.) I'm a fan of Firefox but admit Chrome has an advantage in this situation, while Firefox has had the advantage of resource sharing within the process to keep memory down. Last estimate I saw suggested over a year for it to arrive. As an illustration of how this approach affects the landscape for all browsers, TechCrunch regularly loads 30 origins on a single page.
