In addition to a few other apps, I have to keep “background apps” open on my phone to keep the system up and running. I don’t want to open them every time I go to bed, so I have to run them when I get up or when I want to go to bed.
This is a common problem, and there are a few solutions. If you can’t run the app at the time you need it, you can make it run in the background. This can be done easily, but it’s not a great solution. If you have Chrome on your computer, you can also use the Chrome Canary build which gives you “always running” mode.
In the early days of Chrome, I would have to use a separate browser, but thanks to the Canary build, Chrome also always runs, even when you’re not on it. You can also use Chrome’s extensions to run background apps. In my case, I used to use the extension to make my Chrome browser always running. I think I’ve stopped using it because it’s not worth the trouble.
The problem is that the extension is also a privacy and security risk. Theres always the risk of someone finding my use of it. That said, I would still be willing to use the extension if it was available to me.
I use the extension on Firefox (which is my default browser) and it still works for me. I can still use it to run apps that need to be able to run in the background. I just don’t need it for that. That said, I think the Chrome extension is worth using because it offers more functionality than Chromes extensions.
If you really need to run some background apps (like web-browsing, email, or photo editing) when your browser is closed, here’s how you can do it without compromising your privacy.
It’s better than Chrome extension if you can hide it. I have no idea how to use it.
Chrome extensions are a privacy-friendly way to run background apps. They dont use your browsing history or cookies and arent stored on your computer. Instead they are stored on your Chrome profile so you can choose to store them there for later use. They have a few extra features that may be worth using like the ability to start them while your browser is closed, or to have them run in the background, or even to have them permanently open in the background.
I have actually been using it for a few apps that I use for a day or so and have found it pretty useful. But again, I have no idea how to use it.
I’m a little confused how the cookies work. I thought they would be stored on my computer permanently. To store them on my profile it seems I would need to install a Chrome extension that would allow me to set the cookies to store them on my profile permanently.
