Coming from you, and with a subject line like this, I was expecting some one-liner like "...and it's cutting edge".

|

"and it's lots of cutting edges" doesn't work so well ...

I had Chrome open with 12 tabs. Open up Task Manager and take a peek and there are SEVENTY NINE chrome.exe processes!
W T ?!
Oh, and before you say "extensions!", I only use one. WebEx, and I didn't even use it today.

12 Tabs, 1 Frame and 66 data slurpers?
Firefox right now... one tab, 6 processes.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Firefox. 23 tabs, 12 processes.
|
|

9 tabs, 25 processes.
12 extensions loaded, and I believe each of those gets a process even if they aren't being used at the moment.
Most of the processes are sitting there with 0% CPU, Disk, and network; and memory below 30MB, so I don;t worry about 'em.
It makes sense to put each extension is it's own process: if it crashes it doesn't take the rest down with it.
[edit]
It's changed: 7 tabs, 13 processes. Maybe each extension doesn't get a process ...

OMG...don't get me started. What does it do, exactly?
And people worry about Microsoft's telemetry. At least that is rather thoroughly documented.
[edit]
I don't want to see articles on how to disable it. I want to know what it is their reporting tool does. And it needs to be from Google, not some individual who tried to reverse-engineer it.

3 tabs, 4 extensions, 11 processes... only one of them with high resources (relatively)...

Maybe it is using some of those processes to send data back to those Google servers which are waiting to gulp this data. And track every keystroke move of yours.

I think it's fair to say that that much can be taken for granted...?

It's the bane of cross platform development. Processes are reasonably consistent from Windows to MacOS to Linux. Threads, on the other hand, are a nightmare to develop cross platform. Take a look at the "single threaded" Excel application and you can see up to 25 threads for a single workbook open.
The real question is how many of those processes are in a sleep state of some sort, thereby taking just swap space and no processor.
