Describe the bug

ArchiveBox leaks chrome/chromium processes during use. I'm not sure the exact things that triggered this, but archiving ~170 pages seemed to leak ~50 chrome processes. Sorry that this isn't more useful, I didn't notice the processes until a few hours after I was done using ArchiveBox.

Steps to reproduce

I'm unsure the exact steps to trigger — mostly archivebox add commands.
