I am fed up with video-laden pages constantly churning away and caning the bollox off my browser, often to the extent that it fades out with the "Not Responding" message for seconds at a time (Firefox anyway - Chrome seems somewhat better in that regard.)
So I wondered if there is some browser app, or even Windows system app, that could stop the rendering of a page and suspend all related process after a configurable interval from when the main page was first requested.
It can't be that difficult surely. I mean, given enough time and effort, I could probably cobble together some sort of browser myself from various bits and pieces of open-source software.
As well as easing the viewing of these rogue pages, I imagine a stop/start facility like this (or more generally a "slow-motion rendering" mode) might be useful for web development.
