- emerged 9y agoSince startup time is important, why don't browsers just stay running but pause all threads? The memory consumption of a browser process without any tabs open is insignificant for the vast majority of users.
- MarkSweep 9y agoGoogle Chrome does this, I think by default. It starts the browser process when you log in to your computer, so when you open a browser window it is really fast.
- panarky 9y agoI just checked Chrome Beta on Ubuntu, Windows and OSX, and there are no Chrome processes running upon login. No Chrome processes until I actually launch Chrome. Can you verify?
- solnyshok 9y agoit is a tick in the settings. something called "Continue running background apps.." in the settings-->advanced -- useful if you need google hangouts running in the background, or to get notifications from websites. I disable that though on all of my machines.
