I believe that it is more correct to say "every tab is at least one
separate process."  I had Chromium and top both open yesterday.  I had one
tab open and brought up wunderground.com.  There were 8-10 chromium-browser
processes that suddenly popped up and remained persistent until I closed
the browser.  If you are not familiar with that website, it is a weather site
with a lot of ads (non-pop-up).
