Browsers should support resource quotas.

I wouldn't mind the client side scripts so much if they behaved. Even with uBlock and such, random pages will peg my CPU, drain my battery. IIRC, allrecipes.com, imdb.com, and of course youtube.com.

Forcing Reader View often helps, but it's hit & miss.

The Great Suspender worked ok for Chrome. But I'm now 90% Safari and 10% FireFox.

Adjacent Idea: Browser history should also include other meta. Like page size. (weight), resources consumed, time spent on page, when page was closed, permissions requested & granted, etc.
