Depends ... are you logging in with it?<p>There&#x27;s all manner of things that it will do.<p>1) try to see if there&#x27;s a real internet connection
2) check if it&#x27;s the latest version
3) log in with your google account
4) sync passwords
5) update shared history
6) update chrome apps<p>I&#x27;ve probably missed some things out, but that&#x27;s what I can think of, off the top of my head.
