Electron is a javascript framework that allows you to build javascript 
desktop applications.  It uses Node.js and Chromium's content API to 
build desktop apps using javascript, html and css. BrowserWindow is a 
reference to Electon's BrowserWindow class which is used to display an 
app's window on the desktop.

I would guess that Chrome is not at fault, but some app coded using 
Electron is having a problem. This link will tell you more about 
Electron   https://electron.atom.io/  and at the bottom of the page 
lists alot of apps built with Electron, Maybe you will see one you are 
using.
