No, that uses a single process for all tabs.



? No, the multi-process tab feature is all about one process per tab.


Maybe someday. Not today. You get one tab process that crashes often.

And I wouldn't say that's the 'point'. Chrome groups tabs into fewer processes most of the time.

Personally I'm much more excited about the possibility of a compacting GC.


You get one process that crashes about as often as Chrome, though it consumes fewer resources and is much faster to restart (by not loading tabs unless you go to them).

The increasing crashiness of Chrome was one of the reasons I stopped using it.


You're a lot luckier than I am.

Also it still takes a nontrivial amount of time to not-load a lot of tabs.


Not-loading tabs is a heck of a lot quicker than loading them (and I usually have more than 500 in Firefox). Otherwise, I'm not the only person who has had too many problems with Chrome: https://productforums.google.com/forum/?utm_medium=email&utm...
