I don't know if "most conditions" is even true. Even when it's only running a handful of processes and I have plenty of ram free I cannot convince it to use more than one process for twitch tabs.

Do you actually want it to? Or are you just experimenting? FWIW There's a flag related to isolation in your chrome://flags that will do per-origin.

The bug might be fixed right now but yes I definitely wanted it, because opening a twitch tab was consistently causing the video in the old tab to hang for a couple seconds.

What flag is that?

I even tried setting --process-per-site-instance and it had no effect.

There's "--process-per-tab" and Strict-Origin-Isolation , dunno if that'll work though

I think there are some restrictions on tab "navigation source". (Something about a fairly obscure JavaScript feature that links tabs opened via click navigation, if I recall correctly.)

Does this also happen when you type the Twitch URL in a new tab?

Yes. Or even if I have another tab on youtube or whatever and type in twitch, it will close the youtube process and switch to sharing the existing twitch process.
