Great research! I'm a user of evernote web clipper and seeing that they're adding 3mb to every page that I'm using is extremely discouraging. My browse to clip ratio is around 1000:1 and I'm probably removing the extension after this.
Just wondering, can browser extensions codesplit their bundles? If it's possible, then it is really disappointing to see these large companies loading huge bundles on initial load.
- Lex-2008 6y agoDid you try to set the extension to "run on click"? Right-click extension icon, "This can read and change site data" -> "When you click the extension". I didn't try it myself (it might require reloading the page), but might be an option for 1000:1 browse to clip ratio.
- pirsquare 6y agoAwesome - Didn't know about this trick. I'm reconfiguring most of the my extensions to this. Gracias!
- ptman 6y agoTIL. Would be wonderful to have this on firefox as well
- e40 6y agoI just tried it and it doesn't seem to work in Version 83.0.4103.106 (Official Build) (64-bit). When I clicked on EditThisCookie it said there were no cookies when it was set to "when you click this extension", but when I changed it to "all sites" it showed me cookies. Too bad.
- paulhodge 6y agoNothing stopping them from doing code splitting. Most extensions just modify the dom to insert script tag(s). So the performance strategies are the same as any other frontend app.
