I didn't even know you could use PWAs on desktop. I would've loved that. Too late now I guess.

hmmm... about:memory might have the info but I have no idea how to interpret it.

Adding the !g gives a google results page with 1 relevant result which suggests it might just be an open question. (Thread is from March 2024.)

I have been using ddg for years and never bothered with bangs. They've changed something in the past months/year or so. I think the engine tries to guess too much what you mean. Obviously, there exists many webpages with my search query exactly as I wrote it. But even the google search is mostly finding results "about performance" like the screencap of the ddg is guessing.

Thanks for the suggestion. I don't understand how to use this though.

For a moment there actually was info in the Memory and CPU columns but I went to another tab/window and when I returned it is blank again. If I could reproduce that, then I would be able to see resources use of individual pages, but there is nothing about individual extensions here that I can see.

If you hover the mouse each row, a little speedomoter time icon appears. It has a tooltip reading "Profile all threads of this process for 5 seconds". Clicking it brings you to a URL beginning https://profiler.firefox.com/from-browser/calltree/ which appears to collect information from the system and send to mozilla (?) without asking consent to do so.

Here is the content when I clicked the speedometer button on the "Extensions" row above:

How is this interpreted?

Tangent: is anyone else finding duckduckgo extremely unhelpful these days? A search for "about:performance" gives zero results. Is this do to having to be so aggressive against AI spam?
