Does anyone know why or how I get a bunch of hits from 'ps -e|grep chromium' immediately after booting before I have started the browser? I'm running xfce4 and I don't have chromium in the autostart or session settings.

i don't have xcfe4, but i suppose like many desktop, it could save on close the current session.
So, open chromium, close xcfe, reopen xcfe : tada, restoring chromium

did you have such feature ?

The thing is, no chromium windows appear anywhere so there is no evidence that it has been started except for the output of ps -ef.

Try to uncheck in the settings

Code:
Backround apps / Continue running background apps when Chromium is closed

Incredibly, that didn't fix it. I did:

kill -9 $(pidof chrome)

and restarted and they didn't come back up. Does anyone know why this was happening? How could chrome autostart itself on boot?
