Mine used to do that too, as well as the microphone and other peripherals. They are just being tested as the browser opens I think, not exactly while going to google.com I decided to move to FF where it didn't happen. Also Chrome asked for my root password to open up 2 keyrings (as it opened, every time) so that was a big no, why do you want root access? You're a browser.
