There's a stop button in Internet Explorer and Firefox, but there isn't one in Google Chrome. Some pages takes too long to load and I would like the browser to stop trying to load it.

How do you stop a webpage from loading in Google Chrome?

Is there a shortcut key at all?

The "go" button (a triangle) on the right side of the address bar becomes the stop button (a cross) while the page is loading.

Press Escape. Alternatively the refresh button should be changed to a stop button.

I now noticed Chromium does not have a Go/Stop button (see Shaji's answer), whereas Google Chrome does. – horsedrowner Jul 13 '10 at 9:18
