Yep – every tab and every extension is one – tabs is clear – extensions have their properties and stuff background page. And it's a pretty nifty thing – every tab/instance can crash for it's own without crashing the whole browser. So – good thing.
Chrome will still be open somewhere. I suppose it's possible one of the main processes died and the plugins and extensions didn't get the ordered shutdown command, so.. linger around.
Need to look for those settings…. This is with Chrome Closed – I totally understand when its open.. and even for offline syncing when closed – but honestly I do not need any of those till I open the browser..
I've tried a few times. I don't know the reason why, but all my tech friends who have tried said my computer is too old for some reason to run it. It came with XP but I had to upgrade because I couldn't find drivers.
yea it's on the list…. after I pay for the medical bills I just accrued. And then replacement of my telephoto lens. So after I earn about $30k… then I'll buy a computer.
background process for chrome apps. But I know sometimes Chrome don't close every process it should. Each process correspond to a task on the chrome task manager (shift+esc)
If you recently had Chrome open and then you quit it, it can take a while for the processes to clean up and close themselves. That said, you might have an extension that's not playing ball and keeping everything running.
Every tab and every extension is one.
I have been having this problem too, and I have no idea why this is happening.
<sarcasm on>
It's the process of Google stealing all the content off your computer.
I have ten instances running with three tabs open. I suspect, as +Gregory Pickering suggests, that extensions and plugins are to blame.
Because +Google has fired all their good developers?
shift+esc will pull up chrome's task manager and that will show you what each instance is doing. However, if chrome isn't open…. no ideas 🙂

Good job +Bryan Nabong I especially like the tab for nerds feature. 🙂

Since my computer runs Vista, and for some reason I can't change that….. I find this helpful. Thanks for posting it.
+Eóin Lyness yep that was already unchecked….
+J. Rae Chip vista.. for gods sake.. upgrade to at least WIN7

+Eóin Lyness I am running the beta channel of chrome.. but not the crazy bleeding edge canary version…
+J. Rae Chip yikes… time for a new computer…. but just about anything can run WIN7 now… win8 not reccomended…
