  Firefox Quantum seems to beat Chrome in this area.

  I wonder if the time has come to add user-configurable resource consumption throttles to browsers, eg. settings for max CPU, max FPS (foreground and background) for developer-triggered redraws, etc. On my laptops I’d have it ratcheted all the way down, because not needing to plug in and my lap not being cooked is more important than whatever frills the websites I visit have. And if some site can’t run properly while throttled, well, there’s probably a more lightweight alternative I should be using instead.

    You can do that with ulimit. But it affects the whole browser, so it is not very granular. Tab-specific and/or domain-specific resource management would be more useful.

      If using Firefox, I'm very happy using "Auto Tab Discard". It does what you want.
