Hi
I have recently had a small pop up on the screen of my phone of a game tab that has a banner saying "Running in chrome". I've tried everywhere to find how to stop this but i cannot follow suggestions as i don't have an "advanced" section in settings to toggle off the stop running in the background. I thought it might have been because i was synched with my Samsung Chromebook but no!
Its so annoying!! Any help would be greatly appreciated

I'm confident that you'll get to the root of what's causing the pop-ups. Which mobile browsers are you using, @Blondie63, and have you cleared the cache on these browsers?

@Blondie63: I have looked into this for you, and Google have replaced the padlock icon in Chrome with a variant on the 'tune icon'. The explanation below is from the Google support page, but please feel free to Google 'Google Chrome tune icon'.
We plan to replace the lock icon with a variant of the tune icon, which is commonly used to indicate controls and settings. Replacing the lock icon with a neutral indicator prevents the misunderstanding that the lock icon is associated with the trustworthiness of a page, and emphasizes that security should be the default state in Chrome. Our research has also shown that many users never understood that clicking the lock icon showed important information and controls. We think the new icon helps make permission controls and additional security information more accessible, while avoiding the misunderstandings that plague the lock icon.
