    Task Manager Shows 12 Process for CHROME


    Hi , I have been in this forum last month as I was having some problems with my toshiba laptop, it was sent to to the service center and it is now back and I started it using yesterday.
    After I did a CLEAN INSTALL as told in this forum , My is working great.
    It looks light, loads quick and is quite fast.
    Now When I was looking into TASK MANAGER today , I noticed something strange,
    I had FIRE FOX open and CHROME too,
    Fire fox was 1 service in task manager while chrome was 12 , It looked strange so I ended one process and whole chrome browser shut down, then I re opened it and it again shows multiple services, all using MEMORY too.

    Here is the picture when chrome is not opened



    and then here is the one when I opened chrome,



    Please tell me is this a thing to worry ???
    How can I overcome this problem

    This is a "feature" of Chrome - Each module in Chrome runs as a separate process, so shows up as a unique PID in Task Manager. This includes each Tab that is open, and each Add-on. It is designed this way for stability - supposedly a fault in one process will not "take Down" the whole program.

    Its something that can look odd but it's basically a quirk of programming style

    I can only assume that either you closed the main process or the system is set-up by chrome to assume that if a user closes one process they wish to close all

    As Barman58 already correctly stated-

    This is a feature of chrome. Additionally to the benefits mentioned another is security. Since they are all separate processes they are sandboxed, meaning one tab cannot see another or share or steal data from another.
