Troubleshooting Why so many Chrome processes are running ?

[JB007]

Describe the problem

Too much Chrome processes running

What have you tried?

Close Chrome

Hello
I just noticed that there are 15 Chrome processes working, while I have only one page open on my browser.
I don't know if it could slow down my Internet navigation
What can I do to correct this ?
Thanks

I have 7 Chrome processes with 1 page open on Windows 10 Build 1803. Chrome version is
Version 66.0.3359.139 (Official Build) (64-bit)

It will take 5 pages on Chrome in order to have 15 Chrome processes in Task Manager.

Googled, then have first response:

"That's Chrome's sandbox in action.
Chrome runs some of its components as separate processes. There's one main process, a GPU renderer process and then (roughly) a single process for every tab, extension and plugin. (Actually, a few tabs can be run in a single process under certain circumstances.)
It's how Chrome's sandbox works. Sandboxing is a technique used to increase program's immunity against malicious actions of untrusted code (such as code of websites you're visiting). Running independent pieces of code in separate processes makes these pieces of code unable to affect Chrome's core, which is the most privileged part.
Extra processes don't necessarily use that much resources. Some of the memory is shared between them and dormant processes use negligible amount of CPU time. Nothing to worry about here."

Here: Why does Chrome has so many processes running, when I have just opened the application?

Press key combination Shift+Esc while in Chrome. It will open Chrome's task manager; then you can see for what each process stands for.

Thanks @Prorootect for your detailed technical explanations
