It turns out Google Chrome ships a default, hidden extension that allows code on `*.google.com` access to private APIs, including your current CPU usage You can test it out by pasting the following into your Chrome DevTools console on any Google page: chrome.runtime.sendMessage( "nkeimhogjdpnpccoofpliimaahmaaome", { method: "cpu.getInfo" }, (response) => { console.log(JSON.stringify(response, null, 2)); }, ); More notes here: https://simonwillison.net/2024/Jul/9/hangout_servicesthunkjs/

      For ease of use Apple might be the most convenient alternative to Google. At least for smartphones.

        Ease of use and apple are not near each other in my dictionary.

        I think a lot of things are designed very unlogical

          That might be because you are just not used to it. Comparable to the switch from Windows to Linux.

            I’m using Linux and tried different distros. I also used chrome os and windows Phone. I tried ios, hence my feelings towards it

              And many people tried Linux and were having difficulties adapting to it at first and most probably gave up. Just like you did with iOS.

                Pff, sure buddy. Used it for 4 months due to my phone being dead. Go shill someone else. If the adoption of a new os goes against what I want of said os, then it’s not an os for me. Simple as that

                  I don’t care what you use. I was just arguing in support of OSes that people dismiss because they are unfamiliar with it. Calm down.
