As you can read on several places all over the internet, chrome is the new internet browser from google. I would be silly not to take a look into this new beauty, so i did. I did liked it, and sure i will use it now and then for different sites, however it is not going to be my default browser, even with his cool look and feel.(basically I agree with this post by anima9 )
Anyhow I wanted to correct some misunderstanding related to chrome tab isolation: Word is out that one of its key features is that it uses a separate process per tab, but chrome it self can show you this is not true. Chrome ships with a nice Task Manager, and it can show you this, however, more interesting is the about:memory page (you will have to type this since it takes you to "about:blank"). There you can see how some related tabs may "live" under the same PID.
This is what surprised me: It joins four tabs under PID 7696.

It doesn't matter as long as it uses a separate thread for each tab and handles thread exceptions properly.
See http://www.google.com/chrome/intl/en/webmasters-faq.html
"Google Chrome has a multi-process architecture, meaning tabs can run in separate processes from each other, and from the main browser process. New tabs spawned from a web page, however, are usually opened in the same process, so that the original page can access the new tab using JavaScript."
