    Why would you need to open multiple instances of the same browser? You should be able to open multiple tabs within one instance. It sure will save a lot of RAM usage.

    I have an extension running on 3 different sites. Want them separated. Do you know how to do it?

    You would open the first site that the extension is running on. To the right of that tab, there should be a little box with a plus sign. Click on that to open a new tab and put in the URL of the next site that's running the extension. Then do the same for the last one. Once all three are opened, they are separate and you can easily switch between them by clicking on their corresponding tab instead of having to go to the taskbar and clicking on each instance of Chrome.

    Each open tab in Google Chrome is run as a separate process.
    That's why Chrome, and Chromium based browsers, use more memory than others.

    You can see them in Task Manager.
