Google Chrome's process model is extremely sophisticated. The default behavior has been examined before, but you can configure Chrome to manage processes differently: one process per web site, or one process per group of connected tabs, or one process for everything. Marc explains how this all works in Google's new browser. Update: 'Read more' fixed - made a reading comprehension boo-boo there.

... but when this is production code, giving the general public this knob that can be set four ways is just shifting work from the developers to the users.

There are also going to be more bugs; the four different modes of operation are going to tweak different bugs. And if a design goal is that one tab can die without hurting the others, and you put out a comic book bragging about this, why not just implement it that way and be done with it?
