  pause_and_unpause_browsers
    Usage:

     pause_and_unpause_browsers(%args) -> [$status_code, $reason, $payload, \%result_meta]

    Pause and unpause browsers alternately.

    A modern browser now runs complex web pages and applications. Despite
    browser's power management feature, these pages/tabs on the browser
    often still eat considerable CPU cycles even though they only run in the
    background. Pausing (kill -STOP) the browser processes is a simple and
    effective way to stop CPU eating on Unix and prolong your laptop battery
    life. It can be performed whenever you are not using your browser for a
    little while, e.g. when you are typing on an editor or watching a movie.
    When you want to use your browser again, simply unpause (kill -CONT) it.

    The "pause-and-unpause" action pause and unpause browser in an alternate
    fashion, by default every 5 minutes and 30 seconds. This is a compromise
    to save CPU time most of the time but then give time for web
    applications in the browser to catch up during the unpause window (e.g.
    for WhatsApp Web to display new messages and sound notification.) It can
