The article is pretty simple and not even really helpful for technical folks (since I'm sure most on HN are aware of the chrome task manager) It does remind me of the serious issue with horrible Ad heavy sites and opens broader questions like are there other plugins/apps to ban cpu intensive sites? Even google getting involved with a ranking of how cpu intensive a site is might be interesting. In fact I was expecting the article to go down that path and was rather disappointed it was so simple. I recently had to disable javascript on Wikia because the site had useful information but the Ad javascript code was horrific performance wise.
