Like other browser chrome does not create one system for all tabs, plugins, extensions used by the users. It creates a different system process for every single tab, plugins, extensions used by users. You have noticed in windows task manager that chrome creates multiple processes when it runs on a system. By creating different system processes for every single tab and extension it runs in the background when it’s closed also. However, it also depends on which type of application or extension you installed in chrome. Some application asks the browser to be active because it can send notification time to time; e.g email notifications, facebook notifications and all.

There is a Software reporter tool in google chrome which monitors it and reports if add ons are interfering in normal routine functions of the browser. This also gives the notification if any conflict occurs due to some apps. It is same as chrome cleanup tool which also monitors chrome installation and reports if the problem takes place.

Its is set to run automatically when chrome is closed. You can also disable it by doing some changes in the setting of chrome.
