So Google Chrome has a couple extremely annoying features that can be easily disabled and really should be if you are using Google Chrome on a lower end - mid end computer. Not only does it force hardware acceleration but it also allows application on Google Chrome to run in the background even when Google Chrome is closed. It is really up to you if you want hardware acceleration on, I find it useless on lower end to mid grade computers. Really it will just suck resources from your GPU, which isn't needed at all.
Ok, so what you do is click the 3 bar lines in the upper right corner, just below the "x"
 Click on settings
Scroll all the way down until you see "Show advanced settings" click that
Once again scroll all the way down until you see "system" It will be the second from last option.
Un check both those boxes under "system"
Restart chrome.
Enjoy.

Its old news, most chrome users demand it removed but that's not the only problem. Google chrome still runs in the background even if you unchecked systems, its very annoying but at least it helps run faster browser games.

Wow. I never knew that it forced hardware acceleration. Why would it keep running applications when chrome isn't even open any more. Wow. This makes me want to top using chrome altogether. What do you mean it still runs in the background if I un check that stuff? How do I stop it then? I am so confused.

Thanks for this, though I use opera.

Note: This works on Opera too. The hardware acceleration comes with the box checked on Opera

Well for starters that article is actually about Apple's operating system, not that will really matter since Google Chrome is the one controlling the apps running. If you change the setting I mentioned above it will disable apps running in the background. Yes, by default the apps run in the background. You can turn it off, turning it off will use less cpu and ram. You are right people have been complaining about this for sometime. I just wanted to share on here, since it does make a pretty big difference on low grade to mid grade computers. I didn't see that someone had posted about it before, my apologies if someone had already posted this.

sYndROCK : its not just mac its also for windows, also that doesn't help when you start chrome again. the only way to stop the app will be from install or disable it.

When I close chrome my apps are automatically suspended as well. Apps running while chrome is up is not what I am talking about. I was talking about the apps running in the background of my computer after chrome has already been closed. By default the apps will continue to run in the background even with closed.

I use a pretty old computer (10+ years is pretty old for a computer) but it runs quickly on Windows 7. Chrome runs quickly too, but despite all that I still unchecked those boxes. I barely use apps, but sometimes my friends want me to temporarily download new apps on Chrome that take up a lot of space.

Thank you for making this thread! Now Chrome might run a little faster for me
