Shutdown Web Browsers

Every now and then, it happens that your browsers don't close properly. Though you've just exited all your tabs and closed everything accordingly, some hangup is causing a browser process to still take up a bit of your memory, which can be a problem on lower-spec machines.

If you're not one to look through your Task Manager and find the offending processes, a tool like Shutdown Web Browsers might come in handy. Simply put, the program is a collection of scripts that should be able to close all instances of your browser without requiring any effort at all on your part.

The software is a practical and to-the-point solution to shutting down all relevant processes tied to your browser. If, for some reason, you often experience the issue of a rogue browser process taking up some memory, even after you've closed everything, a program like such can be a good shout.

Its interface is easy to navigate, which is to say that there's not much to do in this case. The program features support for six browsers currently: Avast, Chrome, Edge, Comodo Dragon, Seamonkey, and Firefox.

If you use any of the supported browsers, then you'll be happy to know that the program works as expected. Clicking a browser's name on the interface will shut down all processes associated with it, which means that the program has handled its duties successfully.

In the event that you use a different browser, it should be noted that the program will not function as it should. For example, if you use something like Brave or Opera, even clicking the All Browsers button on the interface will not close any related processes.

As it stands, Shutdown Web Browsers is a little bit lackluster. It is comprised of a few scripts that can close all related processes related to the supported browsers — which really aren't that many — and paying for a license doesn't seem justified when you could simply close the processes yourself.
