You may have noticed that Google Chrome for Windows creates a bunch of different processes when its running.
you might view the Chrome.exe processes in the Windows Task Manager.
You may wonder why multiple processes are needed.
What does each of them do?
There is also a process just for the main web app functionality.
Why is it designed this way?
Well, its to prevent a complete catastrophe when something goes wrong.
Lets say you have websites open in two different tabs and one of them crashes.
Each one of the items listed in the Google Chrome Task Manager is run within a Windows process.
you might prevent Google Chrome from running extensions or plugins in the background by toggling a setting.
