I was wondering if it would be possible to write an extension that
shows CPU and RAM usage in each tab of the browser, so you can profile
your pages.  Web developers could make good use of that, and maybe
we'd see fewer of the kind of pages on the web that are causing a lot
of the memory usage.  But apparently you can't do that?

For a graphical browser that isn't a pig, there is dillo, which has
its limitations, but at least it is small.

Or opera of course... it went fully open-source didn't it?
