I have a console.log statement that is running in a infinite loop and I can't close the tab, what do I do?

If you're using Chrome, Shift-Esc to bring up the Chrome task manager, and kill the task.
Edit: For future reference, on a mac, you can also access the Chrome task manager. Choose the Chrome hamburger menu -> tools (or "more tools" - not sure as I'm on a pc right now) -> task manager
