Get Chrome Tab

Is it possible to get the pid of an individual Google Chrome tab (like the current one) via the command line? Getting it through AppleScript

would be an acceptable solution.

My use case is limiting the CPU usage of a particular tab, so for now my solution is to get my pid as itll will be the tab with the highest CPU usage.

ps -Ao %cpu,pid,args | grep 'Google Chrome Helper' | sort --reverse | head -1 | awk '{ print $2 }'

      

which definitely works. However, there should have been a "cleaner" way by examining Chrome directly, so it's preferred.

This doesn't answer your question directly, but you can get the process ID of the tab through the Chrome Task Manager. Open Window

> Task Manager

.
