Microsoft Edge process

Hello Why, at times, the Edge processes are all grouped together (only one separated) ? And at times, they are "scattered"? Not possible to have them all the time "groupe...

Hi tistou, the reason that some Edge processes show up grouped and others (especially background processes) show up individually is because our background processes like updaters and crash handlers outlive the lifespan of any particular browsing session, so they aren’t launched with any parent/child relationship to a browsing session. Thanks - Elliot

Hi

Thank you for your explanation
Edge classic has the same behavior I believe, and all the processes are grouped in the same place
I thought it was possible for Edge Chromium too

Or, failing that, group the processes together instead of there being several separate ?
For example for this forum, there is 6 separate process in Background processes, a feeling of "badly finished"

And nothing in the Edge task manager

Thanks

  And I do not think "the separation of processes" comes from there.
  There I have no process in the Background processes
  
  and yet I have "background processes" in browser task manager

    Hi
    
    I confirm that it does not come from Chromium's "background processes"
    For the same web page, I have 2 different behaviors (depending on the navigation)
    If it could be corrected, it's an impression of "not finished"
    
    Thanks
