chrome running lots of processes

[72010]

I have one chrome tab open and i see this in task manager
is that supposed to happen?

Yes, it's normal. It's called "multi-process architecture", a design flaw of some browsers that use a new process for each tab and for each plugin, instead of the normal single process for the whole thing that every normal program uses. Chrome and all its clones use this. IE copied some aspects and Firefox was at a time trying to do the same.

It's documented here: Chromium Blog: Multi-process Architecture

I know this probably doesn't help much, but when I first had Google Chrome I researched to see what the safest, optimal and best settings were as recommended by other users.
I came across these three links on the MakeUseOf site which I found very useful and informative.

I hope this helps!
