I believe that Chrome caps the number of processes that it uses, so you wouldn't actually be using 101 processes. I think it caps at something like 8, or did when Chrome first came out.



"pgrep Chrome|wc -l" gives me 54 right now with 2 windows open (29 tabs + 2 tabs)


yep, one master, one GPU process.

plus, one per: tab, extension, and plugin.
