         | [1] - I imagine that having a track record of making
         | significant contributions to the Chromium open-source project
         | might be the kind of thing that makes a difference in get
         | yourself an interview for such a position.

         | But at the same time Google is laying off thousands of people
         | atm so I wouldn't hold my breath for any reqs.

       | Will this also improve performance of Electron apps on Mac?

         | would need to update to the newest Electron - which many apps

       | It's funny, all three of these optimizations seem like they would

       | 
       | One interpretation is that those are just one of the biggest
       | power-sinks, so they're a high-value thing to target. But a
       | cynical take is that the Chrome team is trying to give people
       | less reason to use an ad blocker (or just generally make
       | ads/tracking more tolerable). Of course both can be true at the
       | same time
