This gave me an idea. It might be a silly idea, I don't know.
Chrome introduced an innovation years ago that I loved: it puts a little loudspeaker icon on any tab that's playing music. Firefox later copied this.
That allows nasty bad-mannered websites with autoplay videos -- such as C|Net -- to be identified and silenced.
Is that auto-play that requires the net connection or just animated GIF? Some email I get has short animated GIFs; easy to tell 'cos the loop time is very short. But I can imagine longer ones emulating a video that make massive demands of memory and (CPU?) one the way down have hit network bandwidth as much as if they were a video.
How about an optional addon that embeds a CPU use histogram into the tab headers, so you can see which tabs are the most CPU-heavy?
Yes, but is that relevant? As far as I can tell the incredibly high load factors are an emergent property of wait times rather than CPU load.
It's probably not something you'd want on all the time, but for troubleshooting it could be very useful.
