This is what you call multi-process architecture. Other processes are running in the browser aside from open web pages, examples include extensions/plug-ins, multiple tabs etc... You can control it to a point, but there will always be multiple processes.

Hi,
I opened three browsers; Firefox, Chrome & Opera in Windows 10.
I didn’t open any website in any browsers.
However, I see browsers are utilizing more process.
Can I control it?
If yes, let me know, how to manage browsers processing so that it doesn’t utilize more processing in idle mode?
Windows version: Windows 10 21H2 (OS Build 19044.1415)
