Yes, they sandbox a WebKit renderer and v8 javascript compiler 
for each browser tab in a different process, for both security 
and stability reasons, ie a crashed tab doesn't bring down the 
whole browser.  The main browser process handles all networking 
and feeds the downloaded HTML/CSS/javascript to each of the 
renderer processes, which return a bitmap for the tab.  It's not 
a strict rule, because if you have several tabs loaded with the 
same domain, they will sometimes share a renderer process.  You 
can read more about it here:
