Ewan McKinlay (ID: 0000007fd1102ecf) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 03/06/2023 This extension removed EVERY SINGLE TRACE OF MY CHROME DATA. Do me a favour and don't install this extension.

William Lawrence (damianvincent) (ID: 000000665b845173) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 02/05/2023 doesn't work for me, no data points, just a blank black box that reads memory details, and cpu detail at 90% at all times, but none of the graphs shown in the pictures above. For what it's worth I'm also using this in vivaldi browser, which is chromium, but might be the issue.

T L (ID: 000000e0eb472dd4) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 02/17/2022 I thought the CPU temp was displayed wrong until I read that it uses Fahrenheit. CPU (copied and pasted from the extension): "Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-4030U CPU @ 1.90GHz" Chrome OS: "Chrome Version 100.0.4857.0" Works great. Displays network as "4g", but it's Ethernet. I'm on a desktop.
