A simple Stop button
A simple Stop button, for those who want one to the right of the Address Bar.
To save RAM, the extension uses an event page rather than a persistent background page. Hopefully it won't lag during heavy disk access.

Changelog
0.5: Updated icons to match Chrome's new Material theme.
0.4: Replaced scary <all_urls> permission with "activeTab". Consequently, minimum Chrome version bumped to 26.
0.3: Removed "tabs" permission. Turns out it isn't needed to call chrome.tabs.executeScript.

- (2022-12-11) jjeon hey: It's very usuful and convenient app!!
- (2021-08-22) _ Vogelmann_: Does not work for me. Pressing this STOP button does nothing, pages keep loading. Even the animated loading image on the tab keeps rotating endlessly.
- (2016-11-24) JeffMangumMagnum: A simple extension to do a simple thing and stop pages from continuing to load. How is this so rare? Its the perfect way to stop all those add-blocker blockers begging for a whitelist.
- (2014-09-11) Heather: Works as described, which is a separate Stop button that Chrome lacks, to keep a page from loading.
- (2013-08-14) .: I wanted this to work like the stop button in Firefox, so that when I am on a page with animated gifs, clicking this should stop them moving. But it doesn't do anything. Most disappointing.
