Site isolation was considered to be resource intensive [7] due to an increase in the amount of memory space taken up by the processes. [30] This performance overhead was reflected in real world implementations as well. [31] Chrome's implementation of site isolation on average took one to two cores more than the same without site isolation. [7]
Web Environment Integrity (WEI) is an abandoned API proposal previously under development for Google Chrome. [1] A Web Environment Integrity prototype existed in Chromium, [2] [3] but was removed in November 2023 after extensive criticism by many tech groups. [4]
In Google Chrome's "Multi-Process Architecture" [4] and Internet Explorer 8's "Loosely Coupled IE (LCIE)", [5] tabs containing webpages are contained within their own semi-separate OS-level processes which are isolated from the core process of the browser so as to prevent the crash of one tab/page from crashing the entire browser.
On Linux, Google Chrome/Chromium can store passwords in three ways: GNOME Keyring, KWallet or plain text. Google Chrome/Chromium chooses which store to use automatically, based on the desktop environment in use. [142] Passwords stored in GNOME Keyring or KWallet are encrypted on disk, and access to them is controlled by dedicated daemon software.
Chromium is a free and open-source web browser project, primarily developed and maintained by Google. [3] It is a widely-used codebase, providing the vast majority of code for Google Chrome and many other browsers, including Microsoft Edge, Samsung Internet, and Opera.
Browser isolation technologies approach this model in different ways, but they all seek to achieve the same goal, effective isolation of the web browser and a user's browsing activity as a method of securing web browsers from browser-based security exploits, as well as web-borne threats such as ransomware and other malware.

Google Native Client is a sandbox for running compiled C and C++ code in the browser efficiently and securely, independent of the user's operating system. [ 13 ] Capability systems can be thought of as a fine-grained sandboxing mechanism, in which programs are given opaque tokens when spawned and have the ability to do specific things based on ...
ungoogled-chromium is a free and open-source variant of the Chromium web browser that removes all Google-specific web services. [5] [6] [7] It achieves this with a series of patches applied to the Chromium codebase during the compilation process. The result is functionally similar to regular Chromium. [8] [9]
