Chrome - Disabling Web Sockets or Closing a Web Socket Connection?
<p>Is there any way to disable web socket connections or end a web socket connection through Chrome's developer tools network tab?</p>

<p>I've noticed that turning throttling under the network tab to <em>Offline</em> doesn't affect web socket connections that have already been established.  It only prevents traditional HTTP requests from going out.</p>

<p>There's a question <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5612158/how-can-i-temporarily-disable-websocket-in-google-chrome">here</a> related to this, but it's woefully outdated.</p>
