Thats' right, but it's doesn't always create a separate process, sometimes multiple tabs run in single process (when they're from same domain and from same origin). Besides, chrome addons certanly live in same process, but are somehow isolated from each other and js in pages. I suppose they're created by single vm, memory overhead would be significant otherwise.
Anyway, it must be possible to create multiple vm's in v8 and isolates feature seems to be what i'm looking for. It's not implemented, however, and i don't know if it will be. So for now i'll take a look on what can be done with domains. 2012/10/16 Michal Kruk <[email protected]> > Actually chrome has multiple processes running, i think its creating one > for every tab you have open > > > On Mon, Oct 15, 2012 at 8:44 PM, Alexey Guskov <[email protected]>wrote: > >> By the way, i believe the way google chrome deals with multiple pages and >> browser addons is very similar to what i'm trying to achieve: isolated js >> vm instances inside a single process.
