Jelly Bean Tips and Tricks

When you have multiple tabs open in Chrome browser you can scroll through them by placing your finger tip on the center line splitting the display and the black border. Then just move right or left. Keep your finger on the screen until you find the tab you want.

Apologize if this has been posted before.

I know this isn't really an app section but may be considered a tip.

I'm looking for something on the tablet (or app to get) that functions like the Task Manager on ICS/Gingerbread.
I cannot seem to locate on the Nexus 7 something universal to stop running background crap.

It isn't exactly convenient, but you can swipe notifications down from the top, click on the settings icon then click on Apps and then look at running apps tab, and there is an option to force close.
