Depends on the browser. On Chrome, its a new process whenever you open a tab. On Firefox it is thread. Windows IE a new process is opened.

open multiple tabs of your browser and then see the number of processes generated in task manager(if you are using windows XP or windows 7)

IE9 is confusing...if you open 2tabs it creates 4 process...killing one can kill all the processes but one other could not be able to kill any.
I'm totally confused about this.

there is very healthy discussion on this on stackoverflow.
Firefox is in process of implementing the process per tab method like chrome

i just figured out we can check that by ourselves using task manager. go to the Details tab of a task manager, now open your browser, you can see new task(Process) for that browser. Open a new tab in that browser and observe the task manager, if you see another process getting created, then that means every tab is creating its own process, and if u just see only one instance of the process even after opening a new tab then i is thread. correct me if i am wrong
