I read googlebooks on chrome where they talked about why they decided to deploy the process to place the browser tab every time a new tab is created. ' So,
2 tabs = 2 chrome processes
3 tabs = 3 chrome processes, etc. right?
But I opened about 20 or so tabs, but in the task manager I could only find 3 chrome processes.
What's happening?
I was taught that creating a process is an expensive proposition in terms of required resources, and other lightweight options are also available (for example, application domains in .net for ex). So does chrome take a hybrid approach? Create multiple processes, and then launch additional tabs within a limited set of processes.
