End a hung tab or tools in Chrome 4, 5, 6, 7

             Sometimes, individual scripts or websites are defective and hang or an extension in the browser causes problems. It is usually necessary to restart the browser which is very irritating.
             Chrome was the fi rst browser to introduce a consistent separation of individual tabs at the process level. You can check this by starting the Task Manager when there are several tabs open in the browser. For this, press the key combination [Ctrl]+[Shift]+[Esc] and switch to the “Processes” tab. For example, in case of four open tabs, you see the process “chrome.exe” at least fi ve times, as a result of which it is not clear as to which process entry belongs to which tab.
              This information is provided by the internal task manager of Chrome. It can be called up from the Chrome program window by pressing the key combination [Shift]+[Esc]. You can also right click a free place above the address bar and select the contact command “Task Manager”. The following dialog box displays the tab or the plug-in with which a process correlates. Select the desired input and click “End process”.
              The link at the bottom of the task manager box “Stats for Nerds” can be used to call up more detailed information about memory use of individual processes and to identify which website is especially hungry for memory. Moreover, the overview also shows the memory requirement of all other currently opened browsers.
                You can thus end a hanging Flash Player or close a tab with a problematic website easily without affecting the remaining browser. The closed site displays a message in the tab and also makes it possible to reload the site.
