Isn't this what extensions like uBlock, Ghostery and Privacy Badger try to block? Seems like old news to me, but still not a bad idea to remind people about what a mess most websites have become.
Those block mostly ads not malicious contents, for that you need NoScript or similar, they may even not be enough and reduce conveniency when surfing. Sandboxed browser (either built-in or via 3rd party apps) will eventually save you without hampering your surfing experience. AV vendors implemented traffic monitoring but for that they had to act like MITM, which for some is a no-go. You dont need dozen of extensions to be safe online, but a couple, just not browsing like an idiot.
"Strict site isolation is a new experimental feature of Google's Chrome web browser that ensures that processes are limited to pages from one site." https://www.ghacks.net/2017/12/08/how-to-enable-strict-site-isolation-mode-in-google-chrome/ This feature is nice but it won't stop remote scripts from running on a webpage you visit. You need NoScript or uMatrix or something similar for that. Sandboxing your browser will not stop remote scripts from stealing your credit card when you make an online purchase, or stealing other sensitive info, and that is the bigger problem nowadays.
