I gave it a try. I opened a new tab to a random website, then went to about:memory

Scrolling down I found a section starting with

> web (pid 1036080)

> Explicit Allocations

> 108.27 MB (100.0%) -- explicit

> ├───45.04 MB (41.60%) -- window-objects/top(https://www.that-random.site/, id=175)

I try to kill that process now, but I post this message first in case I kill the whole browser.

Result: the tab crashed, the browser survived.

> Gah. Your tab just crashed.

> We can help!

> Choose Restore This Tab to reload the page.

Restore did work.
