Hi OrdJk,

Think about it: When you’re using a computer, most of what you do takes place in your browser, from opening tabs, to watching YouTube videos, to using web apps or extensions that integrate with the rest of your machine. That’s a lot of stuff.

Chrome splits every tab and extension into its own process, so if one thing crashes, it doesn’t bring down the whole web page or all of your open tabs at once. This is a lot more convenient for you, but it can lead to higher memory use since Chrome has to duplicate some tasks for every tab.
