Board 8 > Why is it that when I open a single Google Chrome tab

(+) Yeah! (+)

and check my Task Manager, I have nine Chrome processes running, totaling at about 150 mega of ram? Isn't Chrome 'sposed to be better than that?

150 MB of RAM is not a lot at all. Anyway, Chrome opens up different processes for each tab AND each extension, among other things. It just looked a lot more intimidating than it is, when in reality, the separation helps the threads manage themselves more efficiently, and is, of course, better for security and stability.
