I agree.. not intuitive but as soon as I turned it off Chrome stopped being such a CPU hog.
One Tab just parks all your tabs in a single tab (so you don't lose them) and in doing so reduces it's memory footprint.Seems it helps in Windows too:

Until Chrome also got all screwed up... :(
So now I use Firefox again because I can:
kill $(ps -ef|grep ' true tab$'|grep -v grep|awk '{print $2}')
and that kills all browser scripts and crashes all the browser tabs, but the tabs survive and can be individually restored.
Can't do that with Chrome...

Hi Joe,------------------------------
I used to have the issue with JavaScript taking over my browser. Looks like that is the same issue you are having. I used to use FireFox. Had the problem all the time. I changed to chrome. Solved the problem.

Recently, I have begun to have recurring issues------------------------------
with my Linux Mint 18.1 system seeming to get "stuck"
and I can't figure out why. I leave my system running
24/7 and have rarely had a reason or need to shut down.
It has now been running (mostly fine) for 10 days.
The recent problems have happened with both the chrome
browser and the firefox browser (open at separate times).
Various symptoms include the screen seeming to "freeze"
sometimes with the cursor pointer disappearing, sometimes
it changes to an "I" instead of an arrow pointer and is
either unmovable on the screen or sometimes it can be
moved, but at a drunken snail's pace.
Sometimes the screen goes blank and if I walk away and
come back after several minutes, the screen is restored
and the cursor can be moved again.
I have uploaded a screen shot and two text files as
examples, including top.txt ... ps-ef.txt ... and a couple
of screen shots. Can someone tell me what processes ps-ef
show that should be or could be killed?
Why does top-txt show two instances of chrome running ??
Why does top whoc 4 users when 'who' shows only 3?
And why are there 3 users when I am the only user?
