Abstract:
As a web browser application executing on a computing renders a web application that contains a plurality of objects, the web browser application carries out, respectively for each object, a set of resource-consumption actions involving use of resources of the client device. Further, the web browser application dynamically manages operational states of the objects based on a cumulative resource-consumption of the web application, including (i) determining that the cumulative resource-consumption of the web application exceeds a defined limit, and (ii) responsive to the determining, transitioning at least one of the objects from a first operational state to a second operational state, where the object contributes less to the cumulative resource-consumption of the web application in the second operational state than in the first operational state.
