    I tried to find something fast and native. Saying "native" I mean something which doesn't require a browser.
Uses a browser which doesn't meet the requirements they set.

Yep. Personally I love the Firefox profiler for interacting with perf - since it can show you flame graphs and let you explore a perf trace by dominators and whatnot.

But I applaud the effort to make small, native apps. I agree with the author - not everything should live in the browser.

I think they were saying "fast and native" because web things usually aren't fast. In this case it is though, so I don't see why it would be a problem for it to be web based.

I said "fast and native" because none of browsers made it impossible to inspect the flamegraph.

Would you like to say that your browser is able to render the flamegraph https://laladrik.xyz/img/pic.svg and inspect it? As I wrote in the article (the first paragraph), it takes a couple of seconds to render the graph, and nothing happens when I press on a frame. Could you check it, please? If your browser renders it as fast enough and allows to open a frame, please, let me know how could I improve any of browsers. I would really appreciate it.
