    they say each tab in Chrome is a separate process. I thought they meant a separate "process" within chrome. No, they actually mean a separate windows process. Look at taskman!

        Unless you click a link, I noticed that when I click a link it is in the same sandbox as the one that originated it, unless I right click and select open in new tab. Dont know if this is deliberate or a bug. Aaron

          FWIW, IE8 is doing this as well. Sometimes. So much for "heavy processes, light-weight threads", eh? :rolleyes:

          You're right. These facts that you've laid out totally contradict the wild ramblings that I pulled off the back of cornflakes packets.

            So much for trusting third-party plugins not to crash or hang the process! Many 'IE' exploits these days are actually exploits in Flash, Java, QuickTime or other plugins. The security model for ActiveX has been ironed out enough that only things claiming they're safe for scripting actually get loaded, unfortunately many either were never intended to be loaded in IE but were marked that way anyway (I recall a checkbox in the ATL wizard) or have been found to have holes. Hence IE's 'kill bit' feature.

                I had a chrome process running at 50% CPU usage even after all chrome windows were closed. Seemed to fix itself though once I opened a new instance. So not too bad. Firefox 2 wouldn't even let you reopen a new instance if a FF process was still running in the background.

                    AFAIK, it's more common in the Linux world, where processes have traditionally been lighter and threads were a relatively late addition.
