Safari won't run any flash animation until you actually have the tab active and is pretty reliable. I'll be happy if they do that.
I've never run Safari and I find this interesting. So if the tab is say, torn apart and put on a second monitor (which is visible), but you're working on another tab, does it literally pause the animation halfway?

I would also love a simple indicator of which tabs are 'busy' consuming cycles or generating garbage, so I know which tabs to kill first to get back to acceptable performance. (Perhaps even just a rough indicator of how many setTimeout()s are originating from a page would be enough.)
Use the Chrome Task Manager. You can get to it via the Tools menu, or a keyboard shortcut (shift+esc on Windows).
...as I meant to imply by replying under an FF issue.
But speaking of Chrome, I'd prefer the activity indicator in the tabs themselves... mapping the Task Manager names to my many tabs distinguishable only by not-necessarily-unique favicons is a pain.

Sounds can be annoying, but the top problem for me in Chrome are still accidental clicks on close button when there's lot of tabs open. A simple option to hide the close buttons on all inactive tabs would save a day, but I guess it's not "challenging" enough feature for Google engineers...
This is more exciting than half of the features in HTML5.
No kidding! This is like the incognito tab. No idea how web browsers went so long without it.

This isn't what you asked for, but you can unclose a tab by pressing Ctrl-Shift-T

Or a per-tab volume control. Volume control for HTML5 videos, games, etc. has always seemed to me like something that belongs in the browser chrome, not inside the tab itself. (Really, this is another way to say, "I'm a lazy HTML5 developer and I think having to create a 'sound-effects preferences' view on every project I do is a bit silly, if the browser could just be handling it for me." ;)
PulseAudio, I already get that for free :) The default KMix app in KDE presents app volume sliders as well as the Master audio slider in the tasktray icon. One of my absolute favorite linux features, especially since I pass through my Xbox and I can control it too.
