Processes under google chrome? [Solved]

P4-630 · Nov 29, 2017

Is this normal?
I only have 6 tabs open....

EarthDog · Nov 29, 2017

Id guess so.. I have 18 tabs open and it shows 24 processes.

Solaris17 · Nov 29, 2017

yup. Google chrome sand boxes alot of things which creates more process overhead and creates even more sub processes for mem management security extensions etc.

I was just not remembering seeing "Windows Command Processor" and "Console WIndow Host" under Chrome on my windows 8.1 rig.

This is Windows 10 I'm using at the moment.

To be sure I just did a malware bytes scan, didn't find anything alarming.

Thanks!

I think Google recently implemented what firefox did a while ago, with each tab having it's own process type situation, so nowadays browsers kind a look like 1000 different processes running :rolleyes:

Its the future!!!

Ever since I can remember, Chrome always had seperate processes for tabs... before FF even? Not sure on that point.

Yeah I know that.
It's just I see "Windows Command Processor" and "Console WIndow Host" running under it.
Not sure what it does there.

I should have quoted who I was talking to...the post directly above yours.

It is likely related to extensions running in Chrome. The extensions now run in their own process too.

You can open a task manager inside of Chrome itself that might give you some hints about what it is running. You can even match the process IDs in the Chrome Task Manager to the PIDs in Windows Task Manager.

I disabled the Norton Security toolbar and the "Windows Command Processor" and "Console Window Host" processes were gone so it was from Norton....
The thing is I don't see these processes on my dads netbook, he also has the Norton Security toolbar, it's a 32 bit windows 8.1 though but with latest Chrome version.

I think it's the other way around, FF always was a single process, so if a single tab hangs, everything hangs. Using the latest FF, but haven't checked if it spawns more processes.

It isolates the thread and memory pools of each tab then all of the processes have some kind of inter-process communication with the main process. This is so one bad actor doesn't take the entire browser down or gain access to memory-space for another tab. Also like most JavaScript implementations, threading at the language level isn't an option because JavaScript doesn't offer any facilities to make it thread-safe which introduces barriers to not using a process-based approach. I suspect that this was done under the guise of security when it's really just a limitation of most modern JS implementations.

Chrome had multi process long before firefox did and that is one of the reasons that the new firefox 57 is so much faster than it used to be

I know about Chrome using separate processes for each tab for quite some time now...

I was seeing: "Windows Command Processor" and "Console Window Host" processes which I hadn't seen before. (sorry, maybe I should have used s different thread title)
Found out that these processes belong to the Norton Security toolbar.
I only just found out because I just started using Norton (once again).

Anyways, it's solved!

Thanks!
