Killing those generally involved stopping the browser. on linux or BSD, 'killall firefox' (or whatever) from a console would make it die really fast. On windows, ctrl+alt+del and switch to task manager let you kill it from there
Really should be a more controlled way of dealing with this type of nasty misuse to give power back to the user. Seems to me such loss of control is ripe for abuse from the get-go, and it's been around since the 90's so it has been abused from the very start and continues to be.
What's wrong? Browser designers too bus having whizzes, bangs, crap ui's and extraneous features crammed in to deal with a flaw that's been in since the WWW new stone age?
