Just  hit the stop button, that aborts the loading of the current tab.
I've just tried it and that's what happened.  Normally  I just hit the
kill button on the tab if the page isn't loading to my liking and that
works too.  And I can do that to a backgrounded tab, it doesn't have to
be the one on display.
