I have the same problem, and have to use the Force Quit function to exit Chrome. But I still think Chrome is (potentially) one of the best browsers. If not for simplicity, intuitiveness and speed, then for integration, and cross platform synncing of bookmarks. It's so nice seeing the same personalised interface wherever I log on, and it's great if you're a user of Gmail, google apps. Google docs, an android phone - the seamless integration takes the compatibility issues and multiple log ons and third party software out of the equation and allows you to spend more time enjoying the web and/or being productive. Anyone who can say that the Microsoft search engine is better than Google not only has serious misunderstandings and nonsensical perceptions of a good search engine, but also loses any credibility with subsequent claims. I have tried each new incarnation of Microsoft's search engine from MSN through Live to Bing, and Every time I am astounded at the poor quality of results and I find this poor performance mind-boggling when you consider their original role in the evolution of personal computing.

And when you look at their new CEO, you understand that they are Brand-competitive, whereas Google has clearly taken on a leading role in terms of internet development. And that mission is a wonderful one to support, especially when the fruits of their work are such wonderfully innovative, useful, services that promote the further evolution of this powerful information revolution that we find ourselves in. Google can see t, I can see it, you, Bing-Opera singer, quite obviously can not.
Now, are there any practical solutions to this bug - like an update on the horizon? Alfred X 20/4/2010, 17:06 น. Heya, I'm on Google Chrome Dev (12.0.733.0), and I also see this issue, where Chrome won't quit, and we need to Force Quit. It is a fairly big flaw, and it's surprising that it seems to affect stable, beta and development channels. Then again, the Chrome devs are usually more focused on new features than on stability or polish.shrugs., it's just what they focus on when they develop, I guess. It would be good to see this issue nixed. I've added my comments to the issue here: If you guys could as well, that would be good.
Cheers, Victor mad102190 19/5/2011, 1:26 น. I FIGURED OUT HOW TO FIX IT! Ok, so if you're using a Mac, close all your applications and open Disk Utility (in your Applications/Utilities/ folder). Click on your Mac hard drive (the one that says Macintosh HD), and then click 'Repair Disk Permissions'. It will check and repair all your permissions (specifically the Application Support folder). Next, reboot your computer. Now open chrome, and hit CMD-Q and watch it quit like its supposed to.
Let me know if this worked for you.mad102190 anthony.hildoer 21/6/2011, 9:31 น. The Difference between Quit and Force-Quit is that Quit tells the program to close while Force-Quit tells the System to shut down the program. Basically Force Quit is a system command while the other is just an application command. This will ultimately could corrupt your system, so make sure you go through Disk Utility and verify permissions. If you don't your Mac might slow down to the constant use of System's Force-Quit. Besides You can mess up applications configurations or preferences files using Force-Quit. This is especially true of programs that maintain databases as their source of information.
Bad Programming - I only use Chrome once a month. I use Firefox for video watching due to Chrome's Sunding Wei 20/7/2011, 22:34 น. I have the same issue with chrome on Windows XP, now I only have 1 window opened.
(This one), but I have a lot of chrome.exe process won't exit C: tasklist /FI 'IMAGENAME eq chrome.exe' Image Name PID Session Name Session# Mem Usage chrome.exe 2980 Console 0 25,176 K chrome.exe 432 Console 0 18,660 K chrome.exe 6100 Console 0 17,360 K chrome.exe 1640 Console 0 25,436 K chrome.exe 4324 Console 0 17,540 K chrome.exe 2592 Console 0 16,352 K Sunding Wei 20/7/2011, 22:36 น. Solution that worked for me: Search Google Help for 'Create a new browser user profile'. Follow the instructions. I am on a Mac and this worked with one exception: The last sentence refers to transferring bookmarks to the new user profile by copying the 'Bookmarks.bak' from the 'Backup default' folder to the new 'Default' folder. This did not work for me. I 'synced' my profile and all of my bookmarks were restored. Whether any corrupt files were transferred is unknown, but Chrome is working properly again.
Quits when I command Q. Hope this helps.
Crane 2/9/2011, 9:05 น. I have discovered a 100% reproducible pattern that causes Chrome to not quit on 2 different Macs. I also figured out how to get it to quit when this situation arises without doing a force quit.
This all hinges around you using pop-out windows in Google Talk. If you never pop-out windows in Google Talk (Chat), then no need to read any further.
