- a processor;
- and
- a memory to store executable code that, when executed, causes the processor to:
- measure the system resource usage of each web application in each open tab;
- compare the system resource usage of each web application in each open tab to a system resource threshold;
- and
- throttle any web application in an open tab whose power draw exceeds the system resource threshold.
