Possible but if you set the limit too low you're going to have it pop it all the time on heavier websites (especially on less powerful hardware/smartphones). Then you condition the user to dismiss these warnings without thinking about it because of the high rate of false positives.

On the other hand if you set it too high then those websites will aim for that limit to maximize profit without triggering the warning. You'll still waste a ton of resources and you've only mitigated the issue somewhat.

I'm not saying it's impossible, just that "just add a dialog when CPU usage is high" might be a bit naive. There's a subtle balance to these things.
