fwiw I got reports of inconsistent/unreproducible performance issues when I was working on a webaudio synth project last year. Never figured if it was down to audio hardware or what but I have seen a couple upgrades of Chrome that perf

Dana White had stem cell therapy for his Meniere's. It costs something like $7000 for a treatment and wouldn't be covered by insurance. Also no guarantee that Dana White's issue is exactly the same as other Meniere's suf
