Yes. But sometimes you will open up a website in a new tab. It won't be happening nothing special there, as least not visually. So you will assume it doesn't hurt performance/battery of your laptop.
But if the developer of that site left somewhere in JS something like while(true) {...} that page will drain your battery, even if you're not looking at that specific tab. And even if you are in other app than Chrome.
