What I've unsuccessfully tried...
- force quitting Chrome in Activity Monitor
- cmd+opt+esc ...Chrome doesn't even show up in the list of open applications
- Terminal quitting via "killall Google\ Chrome"
- Terminal quitting via "killall Chrome"
- Terminal quitting via "kill -9 [processID]"

Activity Monitor still shows Google Chrome (Not Responding) and I was able to force quit all of the Google Chrome Helper processes without a problem. My dock icon doesn't show that Chrome is open and I can't switch to the app via cmd+tab.

I still have a Chrome window that shows the pinwheel whenever my cursor is over it and am lost what to do. Should I just restart my MBP?
:confused:

Not a big deal, why not just restart lol? Its not like you lose all you stuff on restart. Have you tried sudo? After the restart you should use Safari.
