667 When any installed hosted app, packaged app, or extension
668 has "background" permission, Chrome runs (invisibly)
669 as soon as the user logs into their computer—before
670 the user launches Chrome.
671 The "background" permission also makes Chrome continue running
672 (even after its last window is closed)
673 until the user explicitly quits Chrome.
