Abstract

See full text

Provided is a method for pausing activities in an internet browser in which a plurality of webpages are open, at least one of the webpages being a background webpage relative to at least one other of the webpages. The method may comprise executing, while the plurality of webpages are open, software scripts on the background webpage. The method may then include analyzing a Document Object Model (DOM) and a rendering tree of a background webpage to discover what software scripts the background webpage runs while in the background, and determining whether the background webpage provides title bar updates. The method may also include periodically pausing, by a background activity suspension component, the execution of the software scripts for a pause duration to conserve power or processing resources, and adjusting the pause duration to be longer or shorter based on characteristics of the software scripts that run on the background webpage.
