Yeah I think that's the kind of odd behaviour that those KPI's end up causing; they 'cheat' the benchmark by avoiding certain behaviour, like loading extensions later.

I mean I can understand it, a lot of extensions don't need to be on the critical path.

But at the same time, I feel like Chrome could do things a lot better with extensions, such as better review policy and compiling them to wasm from the extensions store.

Wow, had no idea about this! Can you link me to a writeup or something?

confirmed by Tampermonkey dev.

I hope the Edge team never merges this in.

Its been in Chrome since 81, Id wager a guess its in Edge and nobody noticed.
