#2Something nice would be to see, next to the tab title, the CPU resource taken by that tab. I don't mind pages loading a lot of resources, I mind pages killing my CPU.

You can use Shift+Escape for that

#4This looks really interesting, is there a reason why it hasn't been uploaded to the Chrome Store? It would be much easier to install and keep updated.

Shift + Esc doesn't seem work for me (Chrome 53 dev), and there are a few open bugs about the shortcut not working. Opening Task Manager from the menus works fine though :)

#6> A lot of web pages use background network requests for tracking user actions and sending data to remote servers, lazily loading heavy assets etc., and all that goes unnoticed by the user.
And there is nothing wrong with it.

Author here.
I think it involves some payment (IIRC) or some other stupid barrier. If someone is kind enough to take care of that for me, I'd be happy to publish it. I have a couple other extensions which I'd like to publish as well but wasn't able to do so in the past, so I have just stopped trying.

(under my account by AwalGarg's request [0])
The Chrome store requires a flat fee to upgrade one's account to "uploader", which helps keep (some) spam out. AwalGarg (the fellow who built this) is a friend of mine and comes from a traditionally poor part of the world. I've contacted him about paying for the fee to see if we can get this on the Chrome Store proper.

Go check SO chat or read my sibling message, lemme send you that so we can get this up proper.

Yes.
Mini-tuto to install by hand:
1. Download zip - https://github.com/awalGarg/netmonitor/archive/master.zip
2. Unzip it
3. Go to chrome extension page (or type `chrome://chrome/extensions/` in the URL bar)
4. Drag and drop the folder `netmonitor` on the page
