Why does chrome need this many processes to run one tab?

botnet

Sandboxes. Basically it uses a "box" of RAM where a webpage resides. If it's malware or has 3TB of javascript and causes a crash it will remain isolated and give you a chance to kill it.


Also it makes web pages load like 10X faster than firefox.

None. In fact one day computers will just load an image of the entire OS and most if not all media. Though might be a while before 256-1024TB RAM configs become cheap.

Only once we have a memory type which is the best at everything.
Till then
RAM caching, SSD caching, LX CPU caching, etc...

RAM and cache will change by then if you ask me.

Like how AMD already has VRAM on chip w/ HBBM.
CPU's might get DRAM on chip.

We will always need removable hard-drives though for practicality.
