Hey! Great! Thanks for this hint! For me it's just Shift+ESC. That's even better than the Firefox's plugin container - or does Firefox also have such a built-in task manager?

On my Win 7 machine - Shift-ESC brings up Chrome's Task Manager and Ctrl-Shift-ESC brings up the Windows ask Manager.

Sorry I had these wrong, it is in fact just shift-esc. Chrome is completely multi process, and spins off each individual tab and plugin into a separate chrome.exe, killing these when the tab is closed to prevent memory leaks. To my knowledge, Firefox simply keeps plugins out of process and hasn't moved to a fully multi-process architecture yet. Details on Chrome's implementation can be found here

Sweet! Thanks. Chrome keeps surprising me with things like this.
