I have an older MBP. Hunting down processes and especially tabs in Safari or Chrome that cause the CPU to spike and to drain the batteries becomes a daily routine. A routine I don't like.

Is there a program that watches excessive CPU usage and battery drain over time, warns me and points me directly to the possible culprit and advices me to take action. For example to close a specific tab in Safari. I would even let the program automatically close Safari tabs for certain websites.

The goal would be to optimise battery usage in the most user friendly way.

for chrome, The Great Suspender does an alright job if you have a lot of sprawl and an internet connection stays available.
