I had Chrome open with 12 tabs. Open up Task Manager and take a peek and there are SEVENTY NINE chrome.exe processes!

Oh, and before you say "extensions!", I only use one. WebEx, and I didn't even use it today.

12 Tabs, 1 Frame and 66 data slurpers?  
Firefox right now... one tab, 6 processes.
M.D.V.
If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Firefox. 23 tabs, 12 processes.

9 tabs, 25 processes.
12 extensions loaded, and I believe each of those gets a process even if they aren't being used at the moment.
Most of the processes are sitting there with 0% CPU, Disk, and network; and memory below 30MB, so I don;t worry about 'em.
It makes sense to put each extension is it's own process: if it crashes it doesn't take the rest down with it.
[edit]
It's changed: 7 tabs, 13 processes. Maybe each extension doesn't get a process ...

OMG...don't get me started. What does it do, exactly?
And people worry about Microsoft's telemetry. At least that is rather thoroughly documented.
[edit]
I don't want to see articles on how to disable it. I want to know what it is their reporting tool does. And it needs to be from Google, not some individual who tried to reverse-engineer it.

3 tabs, 4 extensions, 11 processes... only one of them with high resources (relatively)...

Maybe it is using some of those processes to send data back to those Google servers which are waiting to gulp this data. And track every keystroke move of yours.

I think it's fair to say that that much can be taken for granted...?

It's the bane of cross platform development. Processes are reasonably consistent from Windows to MacOS to Linux. Threads, on the other hand, are a nightmare to develop cross platform. Take a look at the "single threaded" Excel application and you can see up to 25 threads for a single workbook open.
The real question is how many of those processes are in a sleep state of some sort, thereby taking just swap space and no processor.

I'm getting notifications at stupid times: the "It's out for delivery today" email arrives six hours after the goods reached my door; "order confirmation" turns up 8 hours after the dispatch note; that kind of thing.
And this has been happening for weeks.
OK, I know why - with the lockdowns, their workload has gone massively high, they are overstretched.
But ... they own AWS, "the world's most comprehensive and broadly adopted cloud platform" and I thought the great idea with serverless cloud products was expansion: you need more processing, more bandwidth, more anything you just pour some more in. So presumably their systems run on AWS, which doesn't look good for it, really ...

Amazon is having serious issues, and I'm not quite sure where the disconnect is. It might be in the final delivery, not sure.
The other day I ordered a replacement laptop charger. The first thing I noticed, even if it did say "shipped by amazon" was the two day prime looked like 4 day prime. Okay, whatever, CV19 likely. Email confirming the order arrived. 5 days later, still nothing. After a full week, I get an email apologizing that they could not deliver. Hmmm...
So, I went to the page listing reasons why they could not deliver. Every single one of them is the customer's fault. Now, mind you, in the week I've been waiting on the charger, my wife has received probably a dozen deliveries from Amazon, so, no, I don't think it's my issue. And Amazon makes it impossible to gripe at them with their Indian call centers (no offense to the Indians...).

Maybe they should get some of their services running on Azure. Y'know, for those times their own system can't cope.
