If calibre does not find metadata on Romance.io, the icon disappears as the background tab is closed. BUT, if it finds metadata the background tab stays open, and I start getting more and more icon added for each book it finds metadata for.
I can click them and select close, and the will go away.
This is probably a recent change in the last couple weeks, but I only noticed in in the last few days, (my computer was down for about 10 days.)
So I guess something on the site changed.

Thanks for reporting this! I’ve just released v1.4.0 which should address the issue.
Romance.io appears to have changed how it handles automated requests, which caused the plugin to fall back to using Chrome more often instead of the higher-priority methods that don't need a browser. Chrome windows should close automatically - having them accumulate is definitely not intentional!
The update adds a new method of downloading book details without opening Chrome first, and improves browser window cleanup when we do still have to fall back to a browser. Please update the plugin, restart Calibre, and let me know if you still see windows staying open afterward!
