Chrome puts itself on Startup Applications

Question

I don't know if this happened with Oneiric, but since I installed Precise I have noticed that Google Chrome put itself on my Startup Applications and processes like "chrome-no-startup-window", "chrome-sandbox", "chrome-sandbox", "chrome-type-zygote", etc. keep on running on the background. If I remove Chrome from my Startup Applications, it will show back next time I start the computer. How can I get Chrome to stop misbehaving like this?

Solution

I use Chromium not Chrome so they could be different, but try unchecking

Background Apps: (*) Continue running background apps when Chromium is closed

which is located at chrome://settings/advanced (or in settings:under the hood via the menus) down at the bottom of the page, as shown in this screenshot:

Good luck!

Which version of Google chrome are you using?

i can tell you why this happening . If you click at firefox and Chrome , chrome will open first and after sometime firefox will open . if you look at the list before opening these you not gonna find anything with firefox . so make a quicker startup when user clicks on it chrome doing like this .

@tombrossman disable Chrome apps running on the background.That should technically solve the issue.

This does not solve the problem because Chrome does not behave like a system service, but simply adds itself to the user's autostart list.
