> The takeaway, they contend, is that anything short of running a single browser tab at any one point in time poses a privacy risk: if you open a second tab, JavaScript in it can snoop on the other tab. Disabling JavaScript completely will kill off the attack, but also kill off a lot of websites, which rely on JS functionality to work.

Firefox Focus [1], my most used browser (single tab only), seems to be safe from this attack.
