Safari has done tab throttling for years. Things like that are why Chrome used to cut battery life in half compared to Safari. I don't understand people who complain about something that's essentially a feature, not a problem.

Chrome's proposed throttling is very aggressive (something like 10 milliseconds of processing allowed per second). I'm sure with some tuning it could be less controversial.
