> Huh, this is interesting. I have been running Chrome exclusively on Debian
since it was first released and I'm a very active web user. I've never
experienced this behavior. I'm currently running version 7.0.517.44 with the
content settings for pop-up set to not allowed and I have the Adblock
extension installed.

Also, when a page gets wonky, you can usually kill the page itself via the
Chrome Task Manager. Also, from the command line, can you not do a "killall
chrome"?

My biggest trouble with Chrome is that the flash plugin seems to crash a
lot. Especially, when I have multiple tabs open with sites that are flash
heavy...
