Very informative! Though most of the animations were missing/didn't load on Chrome on Windows.

Worked ok for me on Win7 x64 Ultimate with Chrome 43.0.2357.124 m.

Could be a plugin interfering? I have Privacy Badger installed and sometimes have to enable certain third parties I think or know I can trust before I see some content on a page every now and again.

Is a half a "small fraction"?

That's just a small nitpick though, the data and visualisations here are pretty great. I don't think I've ever seen something like website statistics (essentially) visualised in such a way

I'm on a Chromebook Pixel, running: Version 43.0.2357.125 (64-bit) Platform 6946.58.0 (Official Build) stable-channel link

Funny, it works on my Chromebook Pixel, running Chrome Version 44.0.2403.52 beta (64-bit), under crouton linux of course.

What, I thought you said there were 157,000 packages?

It's on “Registry Growth”. Pressing next 4 times from the beginning.

Thanks, I didn't see that.

Behold! Resource identification under glorious web 9.0
