Issue descriptionChrome Version : 64.0.3282.140 OS Version : Ubuntu 17.10 URLs (if applicable) : N/A Other browsers tested: not tested What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Create new browser profile (A) and install an extension 2. Create new browser profile (B) and install the same extension 3. Shut down browser 4. Open browser with profile (A) 5. Open new window with profile (B) 6. Close profile (A) window What is the expected result? After step 4: Task manager shows Browser process using ~120MB of memory and one extension process. After step 5: Task manager shows Browser process using ~170MB of memory and two extension processes. After step 6: Task manager shows Browser process using ~120MB of memory and one extension process. What happens instead of that? After step 4: Task manager shows Browser process using ~120MB of memory and one extension process. After step 5: Task manager shows Browser process using ~170MB of memory and two extension processes. After step 6: Task manager shows Browser process using ~170MB of memory and two extension processes. Please provide any additional information below. Attach a screenshot if possible. UserAgentString: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Ubuntu Chromium/64.0.3282.140 Chrome/64.0.3282.140 Safari/537.36 Setting "Continue running background apps when Chromium is closed" is disabled. The Browser process continuously uses up more of the available memory until the system runs out. While that is seemingly related to IRCCloud or some other web application that causes this behavior, not freeing up any of the memory from other browser profiles further intensifies the issue.

Thanks for the attempt. Looks like you also saw that both extension processes remained even after closing one profile, not just the one that corresponds to the one profile that's still open. So just to clarify, the memory issue I'm reporting is two-fold: a. The Browser process retains the memory that got accumulated by the closed profile. b. The extension processes that are belonging to the closed profile are still running and use up memory. I've attached a screencast to show the steps with Adblock Plus installed on top of that so that the additional memory of the Browser process becomes more obvious. Hope this helps.
