Things to ponder

Tech term
: Broadband
Definition: This refers to high-speed data transmission in which a single
cable can carry a large amount of data at once. The most common types of
Internet broadband connections are cable modems (which use the same
connection as cable TV) and DSL modems (which use your existing phone line).
Because of its multiple channel capacity, broadband has started to replace
baseband, the single-channel technology originally used in most computer
networks. So now when you see companies like AT&T and SBC pushing those
fancy "broadband" ads in your face, you'll at least know what they are
talking about.

Why is Google Chrome always running in the Background?
The reason is those extensions and applications that need to run in the
background to function. Even if you close Chrome, they will continue running
so they can synchronize or notify or be ready even if the browser is not
running. You might need to manually end the task of these applications from
the task manager to stop them completely.
Most of the times, it is good for apps to run in the background. For
example, a chat program needs to pop if you receive an instant message or a
video call. Or when

mirroring Android notification to computer with Pushbullet that comes as an
extension, it needs to remain active, even if you close the browser.

And considering the importance of these notifications, we can spare a small
amount of RAM for them. But, when you have a lot of such apps installed,
then it's going to make your system slow and drain your battery fast.
Have a look at my task manager even when Chrome browser window is not
running.

Find Which Apps and Extensions are Running in Background
For apps, go to Chrome's Task Manager by pressing Shift+Esc and check for
rows which mention background pages.

For extensions, there is no sure shot way of knowing which are the culprits.
You will have to manually go to their options from the Extension Manager and
see whether they provide information about background running. Most
probably, it will be the extensions that provide notifications and help in
synchronization.
Completely Close Chrome Running in Background
First, I would recommend you to remove unnecessary apps and extensions that
you might have collected with your years of usage. After this preliminary
cleanup, Chrome will feel much more responsive and light-weight. Now, back
to our topic at hand -
Temporarily Preventing Chrome from Running in Background
While you have closed down Chrome's window, you can still notice it's icon
in the system tray. It represents that some apps from Chrome are still
running in the background.

Click on the icon to view a list of active tasks and hit on 'Exit' option.
This will temporarily cause Chrome to shut down completely. But the next
time you start Chrome again, you have to do the same to shut it down
completely.

Permanent Setting to Close Chrome Completly
To avoid Chrome from running in background completely, follow the below
steps -
Step 1: Go to Settings in Google Chrome.

Step 2: Scroll to the bottom of the screen and click Show advanced settings.

Step 3: Under System, uncheck the box next to "Continue running background
apps when Google Chrome is closed".

That's all!
Conclusion
Allowing Chrome to run in the background will consume memory and will also
cause the battery to drain faster. If you can do without notifications and
synchronization when Chrome is not running, it is better to close it
completely.
Now it is God who makes both us and you stand firm in Christ. He anointed
us, 22 set his seal of ownership on us, and put his Spirit in our hearts as
a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come.
