◆ Site separation
Chrome 67 has "site separation" enabled to read websites in an independent process. This ensures additional security even if the same publisher's policy is not applied to the site and prevents the publisher from seeing the user data such as browsing information by the same website. The site separation function is also effective as a mitigation measure for CPU vulnerability "Spectre".

However, Chrome's memory usage will increase by approximately 10% when using the site separation function. Site isolation is disabled by default, but please enter "chrome: // flags / # enable-site-per-process" in the address bar and "Disable" of "Strict site isolation" You can activate the function by clicking.
