First and foremost, this makes it faster to open a new browser window. Since Chrome is already running in the background, there is less that has to take place behind the scenes before your new browser window appears. This makes the browser feel quick, even on slower machines.

Depending on the extensions you have installed, sometimes Google Chrome will continue to run in the background on your computer after closing it. You might notice this, especially after setting up a new computer and when you install a fresh version of the browser. When you close the browser you will still see a Chrome icon on the Taskbar and even see notifications pop up.
The earlier versions of Google Chrome used to provide an indication of being active in the background by displaying a persistent Chrome Icon in System Tray of a Windows computer.
This made it easy for users to stop Chrome from running in background by right-clicking on Chrome Icon in the System Tray and selecting the Exit option in the contextual menu.
In the current version of Google Chrome, the only way to check whether or not the browser is running in background on a Windows computer or Mac is to take a look at the browser settings on your device.
