I think this is a great idea.
At the same time, a lot of pages are still broken in Firefox since they introduced tracking protection 2-3 years ago.
So I don't see devs fixing, or users caring enough about this issue to cause a change in devs attitude.
In an ideal world, web browsers would enforce some reasonable runtime memory cap (let's say 5MB for now) and CPU limit on websites, and users must give permission for the site to break the cap.
Or perhaps a search engine that establishes some reasonable resource caps and de-ranks websites that break the cap.
