There's a useful comic here that explains some of the under the hood stuff that makes Chrome different (or at least did at the time) |
IE8 does something similar, but not all tabs are always running in their own process.
Webkit2 is going to have support for this natively which should be pretty cool. Firefox will be the only major browser without this feature.
