Alt-f4 is usually a better option. I vaguely remember some nasty ads on a windows box that would go full-screen and even cover the taskbar or do other nasty things to keep people from being able to close them. Alt-f4 was the best way to get rid of them.
Its not like you're running Linux and can manually invoke a command prompt to give your browser signal 15. I'm not even entirely sure how to do that, but I know it can be done.
