How I cut GTA Online loading times by 70%

I heard that Chrome team had this KPI from very early on - how much time it takes for Chrome to load and it stayed the same to date. i.e. they can't make any changes that will increase this parameter. Very clever if you ask me

Google lately "optimized" Chrome "time for the first page to load" by no longer waiting for extensions to initialize properly. First website you load bypasses all privacy/ad blocking extensions.

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.

Thank you for confirming this, I thought I was going crazy seeing it happen a bunch recently. I assumed my system was just on the fritz.

I hope the Edge team never merges this in.
