Comment on How do Chrome extensions impact browser performance?

Comments

I knew it!

I'm working on a tool called amna (https://getamna.com). It manages your Chrome Windows for you as part of tasks. However, it does so by giving you a new profile of Chrome to work with Amna, without any extensions. Kind of like a brand new browser.

It's funny because most people who try Amna are like , whoa, how did you make Chrome so fast? They just don't realize that they have all of these unused and bloated extensions slowing them down. And ofc, after logging into Google, it syncs all their extensions and you're back to a crawl.

This is hilarious to me, in a really tragic way. It's a shame that this is the status quo for performance for what is probably the most used software type :(
