Can't you just close it using the normal "X" in the top-right corner? Why do you need to "kill" it?

Anyway, it's not like you can locate a fixed, immutable 'Chrome PID' that never changes. PIDs are dynamic, allocated by the kernel and changing from session to session, depending on what you have running and in what order you started them.....

kill $(pgrep chrome)

pkill chrome

killall chrome

Depending on addons and junk I believe chome runs multiple instances
in the background. I don't use it but i recall seeing multiples in conky top processes.
