Google Chrome is the fastest browser, when compared with Firefox or Opera. While simplicity is one reason for its speed, there is another reason.
If you are a Google Chrome user, then you must have seen that there are multiple “chrome.exe” processes running. This is because, Google Chrome considers, each tab as a different process.
For example, try opening a single tab. You will see only one chrome.exe process running on Task Manager. Now, open another tab and you will see that there are two processes running.
This is a new and unique idea which I think is not any other browser so far. This actually helps to increase the speed of a browser, as there will be distribution of load through tabs. This is unlike, Firefox and Opera, which considers the whole process.

What’s going on if you open Chrome once and it creates 10 chrome.exe processes? I’ve got the Chrome 4 beta and I have 4 extensions installed. If extensions are going to turn Chrome into a pig then I’ll have to go without them.
Yes, Google Chrome considers every extension as a process. I tried it…. I had opened only three tabs and had an extension installed, and I saw that there were four processes running… The best way to verify this is you can see the task manager of Google Chrome browser… It shows the extension as a process… Hope you got the solution…
