Wow, that's an unusual hybrid behavior, arguably an optimization that benefits Google sites themselves by avoiding process setup overhead. In contrast, IE8 has true one-process-per-page semantics regardless of top-level domain.
It would be interesting if you could somehow teach the browser which pages to share in one process and which to host in an individual process. Perhaps even by some heuristics/characteristics, say sites who earned your trust somehow. I'm sure lots of people are like me, with 10+ tabs open constantly we don't necessarily all want to be spawned as individual processes. /Casper On Sep 12, 3:45 pm, ndluthier <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > One of the concerns expressed in episode #204 was that Google Chrome > made UI decisions based on internal implementation.
