Does this work? From chatGPT (4):

Follow these steps:

1. Open Google Chrome.

2. Click on the three-dot menu in the top-right corner.

3. Hover over "More tools" and click on "Task manager" in the submenu.

4. Chrome's Task Manager will open, displaying a list of tabs, extensions, and other processes associated with Chrome.

Now, to link a process in Windows Task Manager to a Chrome tab, you'll need to compare the process IDs:

1. Open Windows Task Manager by pressing Ctrl + Shift + Esc.

2. Click on the "Processes" tab (or "Details" tab in Windows 8 and later).

3. If the "Process ID" (PID) column is not visible, right-click on the column headers and click "Select columns." Then, check the "PID (Process Identifier)" option and click "OK."

4. Find the "chrome.exe" processes in the list. You might see multiple processes, as Chrome creates a new process for each tab, extension, and some other tasks.

Now, compare the PIDs from Chrome's Task Manager and Windows Task Manager. The process in Windows Task Manager with the same PID as the tab in Chrome's Task Manager corresponds to that specific tab

@fleventy I'm not on Windows, so no.

@IsaacKing on Mac, do the same but with Activity Manager and the match the process Id on there to the process Id on chrome task manager

@fleventy in fact if you're on Mac or Linux you can run kill processId in the command line with processId of the tab in the chrome task manager

@fleventy I'm not clear how this is any better than just clicking "end process" in the chrome task manager?

@Imuli OP is saying the current methods they tried don't tell them to which process to end

@fleventy See this comment.

@Imuli It's a good point. I don't know what would satisfy OP if not that

Can you not just hit ctrl-W on your current tab..?

@JohnSmithb9be That removes the tab entirely, killing it leaves it open.

Does an extension that requires that you use dev channel chrome count? You just click its icon in the extension bar. https://github.com/imuli/zap

@Imuli It kills the current tab. In theory it could have a dropdown list, but it serves my needs as is.

@Imuli Says the extension is no longer available.

@IsaacKing Yeah, you can't install it from the web store because it uses the dev channel.

@Imuli You need to enable developer mode in extensions and load it as an unpacked extension.

@Imuli Just loaded it that way, doesn't do anything when I try to activate it.

Error in event handler: TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'getProcessIdForTab')

@IsaacKing Sounds like you're not running dev channel chrome.

@eclair4151 None of those answers solves my problem.

Ok, I figured out some annoying ways to kinda do it:

• Expand the task manager window and it will show more of the tab title. As long as all my tabs have different titles, I can laboriously match them up one by one.

• Double-click on a tab in the task manager and it'll be brought to the front. So again I can slowly go through them all and eventually identify the tab I want.

Both terrible solutions, but they technically work. I'll resolve this market based on whether someone gives me a better system.

ChatGPT just confidently told me I can find the tab ID by opening the developer tools and see the ID at the top of the console. This is completely false. Sigh.
