Do HTML5 Web Workers finish if the user leaves or closes browser?
If a web worker starts and then the user goes to another page or closes their browser, does the web worker still finish?

The worker will terminate once all owners have been closed. If you have a shared worker it will stay alive until all owners are closed (it could exist in another tab, for example). Closing the browser will kill all workers always.

The web worker stops when the browser closes, since its not running on an external server.
