Chrome is completely multi process, and spins off each individual tab and plugin into a separate chrome.exe, killing these when the tab is closed to prevent memory leaks. To my knowledge, Firefox simply keeps plugins out of process and hasn't moved to a fully multi-process architecture yet. Details on Chrome's implementation can be found here | |
