Until Chrome also got all screwed up... :( <br>
So now I use Firefox again because I can: <br>
kill $(ps -ef|grep ' true tab$'|grep -v grep|awk '{print $2}') <br>
and that kills all browser scripts and crashes all the browser tabs, but the tabs survive and can be individually restored.<br>
Can't do that with Chrome...<br>

Hi Joe, <br>
I used to have the issue with JavaScript taking over my browser. Looks like that is the same issue you are having. I used to use FireFox. Had the problem all the time. I changed to chrome. Solved the problem. <br>

Recently, I have begun to have recurring issues<br>
with my Linux Mint 18.1 system seeming to get "stuck"<br>
and I can't figure out why. I leave my system running<br>
24/7 and have rarely had a reason or need to shut down.<br>
It has now been running (mostly fine) for 10 days. <br>
The recent problems have happened with both the chrome<br>
browser and the firefox browser (open at separate times). <br>
Various symptoms include the screen seeming to "freeze"<br>
sometimes with the cursor pointer disappearing, sometimes<br>
it changes to an "I" instead of an arrow pointer and is<br>
either unmovable on the screen or sometimes it can be<br>
moved, but at a drunken snail's pace. <br>
Sometimes the screen goes blank and if I walk away and<br>
come back after several minutes, the screen is restored<br>
and the cursor can be moved again. <br>
I have uploaded a screen shot and two text files as<br>
examples, including top.txt ... ps-ef.txt ... and a couple<br>
of screen shots. Can someone tell me what processes ps-ef<br>
show that should be or could be killed? <br>
Why does top-txt show two instances of chrome running ??<br>
Why does top whoc 4 users when 'who' shows only 3?<br>
And why are there 3 users when I am the only user? <br>
