What would be the advantage of having each tab its own process?

Like in Chrome, rather having to kill the whole browser when something makes it crash, just that one tab gets killed

Ah I see.. that's kind of what I figured it was.. I don't know.. I've never really had a problem with that in Firefox. I suppose I'd have to think about it a little more, it somehow seems like having a different process for each tab could start to get annoying when you start having LOTS of tabs.

That is true. See, like, Firefox has that crash data thing (I forget the name) when it crashes, it will ask you if you want to restore the last tabs that you had open. Chrome, you can have like 7 tabs open but just the ones that crash will be closed. That's kinda neet but, if they fixed the way it looked. All that blue...

Yeah exactly. When Chrome came out I figured I'd give it a little while to mature before I gave it a good run. Goodness only knows how long that'll be but.. As they say, "if it ain't broke don't fix it", and since Firefox isn't broken, I'm not planning on switching.. Unless Google Chrome can really offer me some major advancement or feature that Firefox doesn't have.

I was also going to ask the same as OneSide. I have never used Chrome so I do not really know what, if anything, I am missing.

Take care.

i agree, but i think some people will take it the wrong way. It might look like what Myspace tried to do by coping off of Facebook.

I see Mozilla adding this in version 3.5 or even version 4. Right now im 70% Chrome and 30% Firefox on Windows. I still have a habit of starting Firefox when i first get on my pc after i wake up or get home from work. I should delete the icon and see what i do when i can't find it lol.

I'm sure Mozilla is working on that in the next update, lol.
Now, IE is another question
