Software advantage
Not easy to collapse
Chrome's biggest highlight is its multi-process architecture, which protects the browser from crashing due to malicious web pages and applications. Each tab, window and plug-in runs in its own environment, so problems in one site will not affect the opening of other sites. This architecture further improves the security of the system by limiting each site and application software to a closed environment.
