    Disable Google Chrome Icon?


    Hello.

    I was messing around with my gmail and Google Driver earlier, when suddenly this icon appeared (see image below) with a message, saying something about "background apps".
    This might seem silly of me, but the icon is annoying the hell out of me right now, and I would love for it just go away.

    Does anyone know how I can get rid of this icon? I don't want it to show up ever again.



    Translation, from above:
    *About Google Chrome
    *Task manager
    *Google Drive
    *✔ Allow Google Chrome to be run in the background
    *Exit


    EDIT: Um.. I played around, removed the "check mark" and it seems to have removed the icon. (Easier than I thought.)
    I can't be 100% sure that it won't re-appear after I restart my computer, though.
    But the problem seems to be solved for now. Also I feel stupid.

    Click on "Allow Google Chrome to be run in the background" and it will go away.

    Hi the above should take care of your issue,
    You can also double check the setting inside Chrome settings,
