The following code is tested and aborts all outstanding jQuery ajax requests on page unload in Chrome, but it gets used by Edge and IE using clients as well without error.

Put the following as the first jQuery ready handler:

$(onPageLoaded)

And put this somewhere accessible:

function onPageLoaded() {
    var jqxhrs = [];

    $(window).bind("beforeunload", function (event) {
        $.each(jqxhrs, function (idx, jqxhr) {
            if (jqxhr)
                jqxhr.abort();
        });
    });

    function registerJqxhr(event, jqxhr, settings) {
        jqxhrs.push(jqxhr);
    }

    function unregisterJqxhr(event, jqxhr, settings) {
        var idx = $.inArray(jqxhr, jqxhrs);
        jqxhrs.splice(idx, 1);
    }

    $(document).ajaxSend(registerJqxhr);
    $(document).ajaxComplete(unregisterJqxhr);
};
