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.
Google Chrome and the Chromium-based Microsoft Edge can gobble up a lot of resources even when closed. Some extensions and apps including Facebook can continue to run in the background and also show notifications. Those who need to free up resources including laptops and gamers might find stopping Chrome and Edge from running in the background to be just what you need.
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.
