Force chrome to start an entirely new process when opening a new tab

If i have the following small JS function

function newWin() {
var win = window.open("www.google.com") //should open new tab in chrome
}

When running this chrome will group memory into one process for any new tabs opened.

Is there anyway to force this opened window to not share memory with it's parent?

@Sim you cannot use rel=noreferrer from a window.open, but you can create a link with jquery, do a click event and remove the element instead

I found a 2009 page stating that it can be done like this

Now, thanks to a new HTML 5 feature that got implemented in the latest builds of the Webkit HTML engine, which powers Chorme, Safari and a bunch of desktop and mobile browsers, developers can make links on their sites open in a new process adding a new level of protection. All they need to do is add the new rel="noreferrer" attribute as well as a target=”_blank” to their links pointing to another domain.

Also, a comment on the same page says:

You can force Chrome to open each new tab in a new process:

"If you add the string '-process-per-site' to the Target line, Chrome will open a new process for each tab, but if you open the same site in two tabs, it will run them on the same process. The string '-process-per-tab' will force Chrome to create a completely new process and use a new memory space for each tab, which is its default."
