Chrome did this since the beginning but didn't use that much memory back then. So clearly processes aren't the only answer.

Chrome's codebase also got more complex so now every new process consumes a lot more memory. It's a way of achieving concurrency, but it's not necessarily the best way in terms of memory footprint.
