How do I properly restart Chrome?

Question

I've been doing some WebGL development, and of course crashing Chrome occasionally along the way.

When this happens, WebGL in Chrome won't work until I restart my PC, which makes me think that even though I close every Chrome window I can see, it's still running somehow.

In Windows I am used to using task manager to ensure an application has actually stopped running, what's the Ubuntu equivalent?

Thanks

Answer 1

Try:

killall chrome
# or
pkill -9 -f chrome

If either of the above don't work, then try adding sudo:

sudo killall chrome
# or
sudo pkill -9 -f chrome

Answer 2

The GUI for this is gnome-system-monitor (see Wolf F.'s answer to Where is the Task Manager?).

Or, optionally, you could go the terminal route (open a terminal with Ctrl+Alt+T):

ps -ef
kill <process ID of the suspicious process>

(Process IDs are the numbers on the left.)
