Windows – Page keeps loading even after I click “Stop” button – Chrome

browsergoogle-chromewebsitewindows

I randomly notice some pages keep loading even after I click "Stop" button. Loading animation doesn't stop either.

Here is a page I've noticed this most recently.

This is an issue because I've time based billing on my internet where I live during summer and it is simply not affordable to keep waiting for a page to load entirely (I'm mostly concerned with text only which often loads quickly) and to continue using my entire bandwidth (19KBps so must stop the first one before I can open another).

I have Google Chrome on a Windows Server 2008 box.

Why is Chrome essentially ignoring "Stop" button? And how to Fix?

you can resolve this by installing an addon like Text Mode or Text-Only Mode. I personally prefer Text Mode. These addons block all images, video, flash content. You won't even have to click on stop... Text Mode makes all text grayscale while Text-Only Mode maintains the colors while loading the page. Either work well to ensure you don't consume a lot of bandwidth in loading the page. - Chaitrali
