Keep My Browser Open Extension

This extension keeps your browser open in the background even when you close it and starts it as soon as you log into the computer. This works together with the Chrome setting \"Continue running in the background\" which must be checked for this to work. You need at least one extension that uses this feature - so you can use \"Keep My Browser Open\" which only requires the background permission!
