As of bug 1543217 WebRender is enabled for Intel/Linux. Currently, any WebRender crash kills the whole browser.
It would also leave a usable browser in case of driver problems. In contrast, MacOS is not that diverse.
Any problem we ran into over time was reported and fixed (bug 1401634, bug 1406230, bug 1415020, bug 1430694, bug 1534557).

Just in case. There is an old P5 bug: Don't click the "Terminate GPU process" button, otherwise everything is closed.

Why is there such a huge difference at all?
