While Google gets to work fixing the Chrome battery drain issue affecting Windows users, an easy interim solution may help preserve laptop battery life in the meantime.
The Google Chrome Web browser behaves much differently than other browsers such as Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox. By default, the Chrome browser creates an entirely separate operating system process for every single tab or extra extension you are using. If you have several different tabs open and a variety of third party extensions installed you may notice five or more processes running simultaneously. There are several different ways to disable each process or to prevent Chrome from opening so many processes in the first place.
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 browser continues to run in the background and display notifications from Facebook or Google Hangouts, for example. While some users might find this a helpful feature, you might be annoyed by it. If you are not a fan of it, here is a look at how to stop Chrome from running in the background on your computer.
