So, Google Chrome gives all *.google.com sites full access to system / tab CPU usage, GPU usage, and memory usage. It also gives access to detailed processor information, and provides a logging backchannel.
This API is not exposed to other sites - only to *.google.com.
This is interesting because it is a clear violation of the idea that browser vendors should not give preference to their websites over anyone elses.
The DMA codifies this idea into law: browser vendors, as gatekeepers of the internet, must give the same capabilities to everyone.
