I blame this 'issue' on the op. True there are many potential paths that the Chrome/chromium developers can take with this, but they've chosen a different path from Firefox and others and as a user of Chrome that's what we have to stick with now.
If you don't like the behavior, there are ways to change it yourself:
* Install flash blocking plugin
* Enable click-to-play
* Install a plugin that disabled auto-play (at least for youtube, don't know about a netflix one)
* Put the computer to sleep/hibernate
* Turn off speakers
* Turn off the computer ...
* Close the netflix tab
There are many many options. If you don't like closing out chrome because you'll be missing your tabs, then use a plugin like "Session Manager" and then save your currently open tabs, and then close Chrome.
I don't think this is a bug. I think it works just fine.
Heck, I don't know which setting I have but if chrome crashes or if I restart my computer without nicely closing chrome, Chrome will re-open upon boot BUT it'll open a new blank tab with a bar at the top that says something like "Chrome didn't shut down properly. Do you want to restore your old tabs?" ... that works extremely well.
