Google Chrome Usage and Task Manager Win 10
SolvedMPMP10 Posted messages 47606 Registration date Status Member Last intervention -
Hello,
Why does the task manager show Google Chrome (12) when I open it even though no tabs are open?
Do certain browsers (safe ones) consume less resources (especially memory)?
Thank you
Best regards

Hello,
It's normal and that's how it is with all browsers on Windows.
Example from my task manager...
Several firefox.exe or chrome.exe processes
Since Windows XP, it is quite normal to have multiple svchost.exe processes.
Each svchost.exe process corresponds to a group of Windows services.On the side of internet browsers, chrome has always used multiple processes.
Mozilla Firefox adopted this via the Electrolysis technology (e10s) which appeared since version 48.
Generally, for internet browsers, you have a parent process and child subprocesses that generally correspond to a tab.
Note that two tabs on the same domain may result in only one child process.The purpose of this multi-process operation is to provide better performance and security.
