Microsoft Paint has been marked for death:
The era of Microsoft Paint appears to be coming to an end with the upcoming release of the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update. The image-editing application is officially being classified by Microsoft as a "deprecated feature," as noted by The Guardian. That means that, come this fall, Paint will "not be in active development and might be removed in future releases."
I go hard in the paint.

The thing that Mozilla has against it is that it lack one process per tab. That method handles some issues a lot better.

e10s-multi is expected to be released in Firefox 55, with up to four content processes so as not to overuse RAM the way Chrome or Chromium can with many processes [erahm.org]. A lot of devices still in use still have 2 GB or less with no way to upgrade other than complete replacement of the device, such as a mobile device or a laptop whose chipset can't recognize modules larger than 2 GB. I already see the improvement in 55.0b11, though occasionally I think I might be getting unlucky when multiple heavy tabs get assigned to the same content process.

Can it shuffle tabs between these four processes? interesting concept. If it's possible to configure number of processes it would be really great.

I'm not aware of such functionality.
Four is what Mozilla engineers have determined to be just right [medium.com] for typical desktop scenarios. But if you have the RAM for it, open about:config and increase dom.ipc.processCount.
