I've installed Google Chrome using the google-chrome brew cask, a while ago.
This morning I noticed that I have various ports forwarded on my mack to random places, as show by the lsof command…
$ sudo lsof -i :80
COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME

I've tried disabling all my extensions & also deleted all the Chrome Apps from the only user I am currently logged in as, but the port forwards are still appearing. I've also removed & re-installed the Chrome cask.
Can anyone advice why theses are here (if legitimate), or how to remove them (if not)?
Thanks for the prompt replay, and lovely, thorough response. Very helpful – TobyG – 2016-05-24T14:07:34.827
