Issue 244: google pages tabs are grouping in task manager http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=244
Comment #8 by [EMAIL PROTECTED]: ghosttie is right. By design, if you open a same-site link in a new tab, we will keep it in the same process. That's because these pages are likely related and can share the in-memory cache of the renderer, and also to keep the overall process count lower. As John mentions, you can open a separate tab and then visit the same site (i.e., a separate "site instance") to get a new process. A few things to note: "sites" refer to the page's domain name (e.g., google.com), not the host name (e.g., docs.google.com), which is unfortunate but necessary to maintain compatibility. This means Gmail and Google Docs will get lumped together. Links to non-Google sites opened from messages in Gmail should open in a separate process. If you see something else, that's a bug. John, you're right in spirit about the same-site policy, which means the Google Reader case is unexpected. I'm actually not able to reproduce it right now-- clicking on links in Google Reader opens tabs in a new process for me. I have a guess about the cause, though. It may be the case that Google Reader sometimes uses redirects instead of direct links, in which case Chrome will think it's a link to google.com instead of the actual destination. That means it will keep it in the same process. This is something we're hoping to fix in the future, by swapping the renderer process on cross-site redirects. Hopefully that will resolve the issue for you. (For more info, see the first caveat on this developer docs page: http://dev.chromium.org/developers/design-documents/process-models.) As filed, the issue is working as intended, so I'm going to close it. Hope the explanation helps.
