Here's the amazing part - Firefox is back to normal, too.
Probably every app is running better. Chrome tends to spawn dozens of little background tasks, each gobbling CPU cycles and RAM.
Even when Chrome isn't launched? I'm assuming by turning off extensions I remiged something conflicting with trans-browser plugins like flash.
Yes. Chrome leaves stuff running in the background, including an update checker, even when not launched. That is why I removed it from my Mac's quite a while ago.
