> A more personalized and proactive Safety Check

Safety Check for Chrome on desktop will now run automatically in the background. You'll get proactively alerted if passwords saved in Chrome have been compromised, any of your extensions are potentially harmful, you’re not using the latest version of Chrome, or site permissions need your attention. These alerts will appear in the three-dot menu in Chrome so you can take action.

So when I close Chrome, something else (in addition to the Keystone service that already makes everything not-Chrome slow) will continue to run in the background and periodically exchange data with Google.

I’m sure it’s for the children… I mean… my site permissions which need attention.
