That's where I keep getting hung up on it. Every possible solution (excluding gaming) seems to be such a niche market. I'm assuming I'm missing something[1]. Happens frequently.

I never understood why the consoles on the bridge in Star Trek explode when the ship takes some hits. Do they store their explosives in them or what? Anyway, why should I use VR devices that could explode in my face?

... is someone else confused by the behaviours of Google Chrome?
a.) Starting Chrome -> Something between 6 to 9 chrome.exe instances visible in task manager. This with _one_ open tab (ok, I recognize the 6 google apps which are basically available, but...)
b.) This very annoying software_reporter_tool.exe (also up to 9 processes started)
Why a web browser should scan my pc? Why I should trust them? I have traps installed, so no need (hopefully) for another tool against bad software...
Any thoughts?
[Edit0]
I see, sooner or later I have to accept, that my browser becomes my OS  ...

Chrome: everything is in a separate process, so if a plug-in, extension, or web page render crashes, it doesn't take the rest down with it, and mostly that works pretty well - at least for me.
This may help: Why Does Chrome Have So Many Open Processes?[^]

Thank you very much for your feedback.
Ok, yes. This with the plug-in extensions I can accept meanwhile, but this "software_reporter_tool.exe", still worries me. What do you think about it?

It should.
It's a google tool that targets and kills advertisements, plug-ins, and even programs that google either doesn't get paid for, or doesn't like -- and, of course, it reports everything back to google.
AIRI, deleting the tool doesn't help (it's in either the local or roaming appdata directory for chrome), because google just replaces it, the next time you run chrome, so you have to remove inheritance from its containing directory, so that it can't be called by chrome.
Do an internet search for exact details, then kill that "do no evil" cootie.

 Thank you for your feedback! Yes, I googled it already before my post here. I see a chance to disable it by policies. But for me more important is, it is a no go that a browser software hooks that aggresive into my system.

 Settings of W10 or Chrome or what? And btw. I feel very safe with the tool (traps) installed by my company IT. I don't think a "spy" tool like "software_reporter_tool.exe" is needed/would be helpfull.

On Chrome, they have a built in tool for removing harmful stuff.

I think this is this "software_reporter_tool.exe" which I prefer to disable, if possible.

Did you forget who wrote this browser? And what their goals are?
That should be enough to provide you with the answers you're looking for.
