Is it possible to restrict this as a user? Like to force webpages to use under a certain amount of render/paint time/resources or else just break so that one dumb tab doesn't use up all my battery? Then I can opt-in to greater resources usage if it's a webpage I actually care about.

I've seen the "This webpage is using alot of resources" popup before but I don't think it would happen in this case.

Because honestly I think this is horrifying. I would rather it switch from grey to red "recording" dot than use even the 6% the author decided was "fixed". In 99% of cases I do not care at all about the "artistic vision" of the UI designer and in the other 1% of cases (say an in-browser game or some useful data-viz) I could choose to allow the tab to go crazy with my resources.
