my slides for tomorrow have a lot of dynamic DOM action behind the scenes — to the point where it started causing jank of about 0.5s on some transitions

so, of course, I opened the profiler to see if there's any low-hanging fruit to be reaped

and found that all the time was being spent by the Bitwarden browser extension traversing the DOM all the time! idk, I guess they're looking for shit to autofill? doesn't make much sense considering they don't actually have *auto*-fill, you need to confirm...

anyway, I tried a fresh browser profile, without any extensions, and what do you know. butter smooth, even on battery and the power-saving governor that entails

I wonder how much of the performance shittiness I get in normal browsing is caused by fucking Bitwarden
