For me, Chrome has been in my opinion, known to take too many processes, especially with its plug-in/add-on components -- to see the behavior in Windows, one can open the
Windows Task Manager -- press simultaneously
CTRL+SHIFT+ESC (
this is applicable to most Windows from XP, all the way to the current 8.1 )
When the Windows Task Manager opens, click on the Processes tab, and you'll be able to see Chrome's processes -- compared to Firefox which would be one (
three, if Flash and it's Plug-in Container are active, though this quickly disappears if a web pages doesn't use Flash entirely ) -- Chrome would be running at at least three to four processes (
if you'd be one of the unlucky ones, there would be 5 to 8 processes ) Trying to manually disable one of these from Chrome can result to a browser crash. And if you have one of the older machines, with a limited amount of RAM... you'd get a bad performance behavior (
sluggish movements in programs that are currently opened and needed, for starters )
I had Chrome removed from my system; lately it has been a tad lagging, and the number of processes it was running made me shake my head (
"Why do you need so much?" ) -- No regrets when I gutted Chrome
