Stop JavaScript without reloading the page

Question

I have some JavaScript that, I believe, is stuck in an infinite loop. I know I can just reload the page, but I have data in a form on the current page that I'd like to keep. The tab is completely unresponsive, so I can't just copy and paste everything and then reload. So is there any way to kill the javascript thread, but keep the DOM in Chrome?

Answer 1

Open chrome developer tools and go to the sources tab. On the right panel press "pause script execution".

Answer 2

You can open the developer console F12 and stop the script
