browser processes

Browser processes refer to the individual tasks and subprocesses that a web browser like Microsoft Edge runs to manage tabs, extensions, and system resources. On Windows, these processes appear in Task Manager, where users can monitor CPU, memory, and disk usage to diagnose performance issues. Understanding browser processes helps users identify which tabs or features are consuming resources, enabling better troubleshooting of slowdowns or overheating. Microsoft Edge, for example, uses multiple processes for stability and security, and recent improvements aim to make their Task Manager representation clearer. This tag covers discussions about how browser processes work, how to interpret them in Windows Task Manager, and tips for optimizing browser performance on Windows systems.
