Stop is a free Chrome extension developed by MK that adds a simple stop button to the right of the Address Bar. This button is perfect for users who want a quick and easy way to stop loading webpages or halt any ongoing processes.

One of the notable features of Stop is its efficient use of system resources. Instead of using a persistent background page, the extension utilizes an event page to save RAM. This design choice aims to prevent any lag or slowdowns, especially during heavy disk access.

For users who are also looking for a Reload button, the developer recommends checking out the "Reload" extension available on the Chrome Web Store.

Please note that the extension has undergone several updates, including the recent 0.5 version which features updated icons to match Chrome's new Material theme. The 0.4 version also made changes to permissions and increased the minimum required Chrome version to 26. Additionally, the 0.3 version removed the "tabs" permission, as it was found to be unnecessary for the extension's functionality.

Stop is a straightforward and handy Chrome extension that provides users with a convenient stop button for their browsing needs.
