I’d like to be able to link a web app and its mobile app (lemmy.world and Jerboa for example). And to set a limit to the amount of time I spend on the pair. And have that sync across all my devices.

LEVI OP ,

that’s interesting, I’m not sure I understand the idea, do you want the browser to monitor the mobile app time usage ( Jerboa ), I’m i correct ?

bradboimler ,

I spend too much time on Lemmy. And I do use an app timer on my phone. I need the website to take away from that same timer as well. When I use the website on my phone and on my laptop. I’m happy to make this clearer.

background/defocused tabs are ‘paused’ by default.

paused meaning no runtime execution of scripts or anything else.

firstly, there’s always some security and plenty of privacy mischief around focus.

secondly, it’s almost always wasting cycles, so its just wasteful of resources and energy.

ofc with some option for you to eg. right-click on a tab and mark it as ‘runtime in background’ or something, for webmail or messengers etc which you do want runtime.

but it should essentially be whitelisted.

i’ve actually played with this in the firefox debugger and it essentially appears feasible so really hope this feature comes oneday - or i finally get some time to look into making an addon for it.

Oh, how so?

that’s cool, yes a browser should stop using resources when you stop using it ( minimize it ), or using that particular tab by making it inactive, chromium based browsers behave like that if I’m not mistaken

check here for some basic examples. eg. it can be used to leak info from one context to another.

there’s ofc legit uses for it too, which is why i argue for user intervention.

i may be wrong? but my understanding is they’ll currently limit resources, but execution still takes place? that’s definitely useful, but my argument is for for an option where CPU resources be limited to 0 in background (without user intervention).

A limit of data that can be used daily and we can track how much data we consume.

A little discrete “progress bar” at the bottom of the toolbar would be cool to see in the blink of an eye where I am on my daily limit.

LEVI OP ,

That would also look cool, aesthetically speaking

Vibi ,

The thing I want natively is a built-in way to control volume per tab- not just mute, not through a plugin… Just a simple volume slider that works.

This would be a nice feature.

if i open a site that ive opened x times this week/month a popup appears that says “no” then the pc shuts down and cannot be turned on for 3 hours.

LEVI OP ,

saying: “no” sounds rude… maybe something like “no, go touch grass” that’d be better
