> Chrome parallelizes running JavaScript
So i'm personally a NoScript (Tor Browser) user, but every single time i've enabled JavaScript in the past years, i wished it was not multi-threaded. Most times, a random tab will start eating most of my CPU, and i wish i had just one process-per-tab to kill to own my computer again.
On lower-end hardware especially, multi-threaded client-side scripting can make your entire computer unresponsive super quickly. I wish browser/website developers made UX testing on actual hardware (not everybody owns the latest Macbook Pro) before shipping stuff.
EDIT: To the downvoters, why? Am i missing something? Is there an easy way to make JS engines respect my resources and to keep my computer responsive when browsing the "modern" web?
