One of the most annoying things about Chrome is that I can't kill individual tabs via the task manager. Occasionally one tab will go crazy, then I have to click around trying to figure out which tab. Task manager can only close group of tabs.

I know this isn't the same issue just a whole bunch of annoying things about chrome

Chrome actually has a built in Task Manager which can be super useful for this sort of thing.

For example, it allows one to see CPU & Mem usage per tab. It also has the ability to kill problematic tabs, extensions and background processes with ease.

Chrome's Task Manager can be found under Menu Icon -> (More) Tools.

In fact, this feature was being used often enough, that I ended up assigning it a shortcut. (for me: command-shift-1)

Doesn't it have a default shortcut? I think "Shift + Esc" opens it.

on windows. doesn't on mac for some reason.

Did you read what I wrote?

You can kill groups of tabs that are part of the same process. BUT that does not mean that you can kill individual tabs via the Task Manager and the main source of my complaint.
