GNOME Web (via WebKitGTK) already has this feature:

Web process separation

Since adding support for WebKit2, it’s possible to build applications that use the web platform with increased security and responsiveness. The web is a jungle, but web pages cannot crash the main application or freeze the UI.

The individual web processes are sandboxed using bwrap. When running in Flatpak, GNOME Web uses flatpak-spawn to start the web processes, since it can’t start sandboxed processes within an already-sandboxed Flatpak environment.
