| Multiple chrome.exe in Task Manager | Sashka57 | 2/24/09 1:41 PM | It would be nice if every time I opened a new tab, Chrome wouldn't load another chrome.exe in the task manager. This slows down my computer. Presently, Firefox runs much fast on my laptop than Google Chrome. |
| Re: Multiple chrome.exe in Task Manager | Critesjm | 2/24/09 3:07 PM | The reason for multiple Chrome.exe processes being listed in the task manager is that each Chrome tab is treated as it's own individual process for safety reasons etc, and therefore, is treated as such. |
| Re: Multiple chrome.exe in Task Manager | PCJunkie517 | 3/14/09 4:34 PM | I agree with Sashka. I did a test and opened 3 somewhat demanding websites with each browser. Chrome was taking up 96k memory and firefox was at 78k. I could see it being very handy for people who use their browser for a lot of blogging or any good |
| Re: Multiple chrome.exe in Task Manager | Bapabooiee | 3/14/09 9:20 PM | Well hai der guise. You may wish to right-click your Chrome shortcut, go to the "Target:" field, and append (add) the "--single-process" to the end. For example, if I did this, mine would look like exactly this (quotation marks included): "C:\Users |
| Re: Multiple chrome.exe in Task Manager | js1473 | 5/15/09 2:18 PM | The seperate processes allow you to distribute the CPU load amongst your multiple cores.

| Re: Multiple chrome.exe in Task Manager | andreamc | 11/7/09 11:49 AM | I'm with doods...

| Re: Multiple chrome.exe in Task Manager | andreamc | 11/7/09 11:55 AM | OK I just realized you can right click on the top bar of Chrome and open its own task manager. My three processes are for the browser itself, the tab I am on, and flash plug in when it is needed. Even though I have -single-process on? Is that working |
| Re: Multiple chrome.exe in Task Manager | js1473 | 11/9/09 5:04 AM | There are processes for non-tabs also to separate the stability of the system such as for plugins, task manager, or the overseer browser process that manages all the child processes of the original invocation of chrome.exe as an application.

| Re: Multiple chrome.exe in Task Manager | Technovicely | 12/12/09 1:43 PM | After reading these experiences (and my own) with Chrome, I have concluded that it is time for an updated computer with multiple cores and as much RAM as I can get just to browse the internet. Go figure. |
