Comment #67 on issue 13 by [email protected]: Closing last tab also closes window http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=13
Sometimes I like that simply closing a tab quits the whole browser, however it causes a serious performance hit. Running Chrome (when there are no existing processes running) causes it to do all kinds of maintenance things like thrashing the HOSTS file, updating the Safe Browsing file, etc. Closing that browser because there are no open tabs means that all this thrashing and work happens unnecessarily the next time that you run Chrome. One ideal solution would be that when the last tab is closed, Chrome opens a blank tab and minimizes to the system tray. That way it effectively shuts down, but remains alive so that you can quickly and easily open a new page without it re-doing the maintenance updates. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
