How I cut GTA Online loading times by 70%

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.
