[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 97327, post: 1037559"] Although there is a possible use case for the scenario to keep background stuff running, it is like forgetting to end a telephone conversation and keeping the line open (people could hear stuff, you might not want them to hear), that is why I always disable this feature in Chromium browsers. It is possibly also the reason why a more privacy focussed browser does not has that option (as SeriousHoax posted). When something is downloading, and you close the browser you still get a warning in in chromium browsers when this option is disabled. [/QUOTE]
