Google Chrome is getting a new browser heads-up display that displays performance metrics about the web pages you are visiting.
To help users analyze these metrics on web pages, Google released a Chrome extension named Web Vitals that displays an on-screen HUD with performance metrics for web pages you are visiting.
In the Google Chrome Canary builds, Google is doing away with the need of an extension and is creating a built-in HUD that displays real-time performance metrics while using a web page.
How to enable Chrome's benchmark HUD. To try out the new performance metrics HUD, you need to first install Google Chrome Canary.
Once Google Chrome restarts, you will see the performance metrics HUD while you browse the web.
