for any reason it crashes, or you shut down or log out without quitting
it, it tends to leave several processes lying around, as has already
been said. AFAIK these processes will stay there forever unless you
explicitly kill them (pgrep -fl chrome; pkill -9 chrome).
Then you often have to clean up the mess by removing stuff from
~/.cache/google-chrome/Cache and possibly ~/.config/google-chrome. I
haven't completely figured it out yet, but if you don't do this then a
new session of Chrome is likely to hang on some of your tabs. The exact
conditions aren't clear to me.
As a matter of interest, why do you use it
as your "day-to-day browser" if it what seems like
fairly serious deficiencies?
