“I want 1 Chrome running” Why? To save a little disk space? There are a lot of downsides to that. Microsoft thought DLLs were a good idea once. I know Chrome has better isolation but it’s still not as idiot proof and most importantly, as cheap to support as having your own totally independent app. If a user contacts you with a bug, you immediate know for a fact it has nothing to do with any new chrome update or possible problems chrome may be having and vastly narrow down the problem space.

Given that chrome gives each tab its own heavy weight forked process, it is also pretty irrelevant conceptually. OP didn't explain what advantage he thought he'd get out of it being the same process he already runs other than saving some MB of exe cache. Perhaps that's all he wants. Either way these solutions are all rubbish.

To save RAM usage and preventing constant cache thrashing.
