Summary

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.

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.

Works as described, which is a separate Stop button that Chrome lacks, to keep a page from loading.
