This post has been updated with new Release 25C information.

This post outlines the potential implications and explains what you,as a learning administrator, can do to minimize the impact of this change in the Chrome browser.

The unload event was used to perform cleanup tasks (e.g. save user data) when learners navigated away from a page in a piece of online content - typically by closing the browser window.
