A "Pause" Button for Google Chrome?

Here's an idea... could we please have a "pause" button for Google Chrome? I am on a limited mobile connection (using desktop Chrome via phone as hotspot), and between Chrome's use of background sync (now disabled), auto-playing videos, and simply open tabs using Javascript to send random data to and from some server, I would LOVE to have a button to temporarily put the brakes on it. Chrome is so bad at using all my bandwidth even with just a few static pages open, not to mention it's auto-update that CANNOT be disabled! Sometimes I just need to use my Internet for other things and would really rather not have to completely shut down Chrome and my open tabs just for a couple minutes of open bandwidth (followed by the inevitable reloading of each previously open page that again uses more bandwidth).

Google... can you hear me?!!

There's keyboard shortcuts (or chrome dev tools) to pause javascript execution. No idea how to trigger this on a mobile tough.

I should clarify... I use my mobile plan as a hotspot. I'm using desktop Chrome. And I want ONE button to pause ALL sites (I always have at least a few tabs open). Thanks for the comment!

In your profile you write that you're a software developer. I' sure you can writeca chrome extension that does exactly this ;-)
