The downside, however, is Chrome will use even more RAM than it already does. Google v67 build of Chrome contains a feature called Site Isolation to combat Spectre attacks. Site Isolation makes Spectre attacks less dangerous by using a separate renderer for each domain. Enforcing Site Isolation comes with a drawback, though. Using a separate renderer for every domain means more active renderers, and thus, more memory usage.
