Stop is a command used in computer programming to terminate the execution of a program or a specific process.
In the context of web development, stop is often used to refer to the action of halting the loading or processing of a web page.
When a user clicks on the stop button on their browser, it sends a signal to the web browser to immediately cease any ongoing requests and stop rendering the page.
Stop is also commonly used in the context of networking, where it denotes the termination of a connection or transmission.
For example, when a file transfer is interrupted, the user may choose to stop the transfer to prevent further data loss.
