Above comment comes from a bug that this behaviour introduced in a project that uses chrome: https://github.com/titusfortner/webdrivers/issues/168
So, besides it leaving around running processes (slightly messy) and not closing icons (as observed by OP) it causes bugs (hanging) in scripts and tools that wait for chrome+children to exit. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to chromium-browser in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1859878 Title: Chrome does not quit when closing the window, it remains in background Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: When I close the chromium window it keeps magically running in the background. There is a invisible chrome icon in app indicator space however it can not be activated by clicking on it. The dash does not show that chrome is still active. Not closing correctly further leads to the annoying problem chromium not saving its state when restarting. But this is an other problem.
