Idea: Sort / merge by CPU usage #27

Closed toybuilder closed 2 years ago

toybuilder commented 3 years ago

I have found that certain websites are consistently CPU-heavy and will actually make my computer run hot if they are left open. (Various TV-network-news sites being the worst offenders.)

Tab sorter 2 has been great for letting me merge/sort and then easily identify and kill the pages that I know to be CPU-heavy.

I don't know if there's an API that would let you get usable information from Chrome's task manager, but if it was possible to merge/split/sort based on average CPU load (and/or perhaps also memory usage), it might be really helpful for Chromeaholics like me prune what's left open.

Thanks for a great product, btw!

That's an interesting idea - I'm currently busy creating a light version to deal with chrome new requirements of permission but I will look into this for the next major release

Sadly this is not currently possible as the chrome process API is still only available on the Dev channel - a workaround for this would involve trying to scrape one of their internal page... which can't be done from within an extension ... I will close this issue for now, but I'm willing to reopen it if/when a viable workaround arise
