Excited that there's more progress being done in implementing proper site isolation. Would be great to not feel like I'm losing something in sticking with FF over Chromium-based browsers.

If you need real security through isolation, try Qubes OS.

For isolation within a Linux instance:

firejail, firetools

apt-cache search firejail

Does Chrome have better site isolation?

Yes. But I believe FF is slowly catching up in this update. There was a post about it here a while ago

This article (https://madaidans-insecurities.github.io/firefox-chromium.ht...) by madaidan goes into quite a bit of detail regarding the security of the two browsers. Things are improving on FF, though.
