I think most of that is more of a web site issue though.   SO MANY
sites have autoplaying
videos, timer based updates, etc.   Firefox, at least, lets you
disable autoplay on videos which
can at least reduce the load of an 'idle' tab.  I think there are
other things that you can do,
but I haven't explored them sufficiently to suggest anything.
