No, they took a step in the right direction

From what I understand of the comparisons is this:

Chrome, sandboxes each WINDOW, meaning if like many you have several tabs going, some secure but some less secure, then effectively that browser instance is only as strong as the weakest link.

The proposal with Gazelle is to sandbox at TAB level, effectively eliminating this risk.

Now it remains to be seen if this can be achieved without putting a massive drain on system resources. As much as I'm extremely anti-Google for the constant spamming of by internet experience via so-called "sponsored links", I'll give credit where credit is due. They did take a first crucial step in the right direction.

Also giving credit where it's due, if MS can actually pull this off, there's another step forward.
