Manage background pages and apps

Many extensions and web apps use background pages that do their work where you can't see them. For example, if you use Google Mail Checker, a background page works to send new message alerts.

Background apps work entirely in the background and run even after you close the Chrome browser.

Background pages and apps use your computer's resources. You can check to see how much they're using, and you can turn them off at any time.

Turn off background pages

To check your background pages and turn them off, follow these steps:

1. On your computer, open Chrome.
2. At the top right, click More .
3. Click More tools  Task manager.
4. In the first column, look for items labeled "Background Page." You can see its details in the other columns.
5. Select the background page you want to turn off and click End Process.

Turn off background apps

When a background app is running, you'll see a Chrome icon in your computer's system tray.

• On Windows, it's at the bottom right of your desktop.
• On Mac, it's in your dock.

To see a list of running background apps, right-click the icon.
