Every agent session gets its own headless browser from the browser skill, and that browser closes when the session ends. On a busy machine it used to linger for ten seconds or more, because the skill waited for Chrome's orderly shutdown. Now Chrome gets a two-second grace, then it is ended hard and its temporary profile removed, so a session's browser is gone within about three seconds even when the machine is loaded.
