Typical early hooks: • fetch wrapper • XMLHttpRequest.prototype.open/send wrapper • WebSocket constructor wrapper • history.pushState/replaceState wrapper • EventTarget.addEventListener wrapper (optional, heavy) • MutationObserver for DOM diffs • Error + unhandledrejection capture
It’d be nice if Mozilla (or a similar foundation) could create a baseline OS platform for a business communications suite.

Typometer
Typometer is a tool to measure and analyze the visual latency of text editors.
Editor latency is the delay between an input event and a corresponding screen update — in particular, the delay between keystroke and character appearance. While there are many kinds of delays (caret movement, line editing, etc.), typing latency is a major predictor of editor usability.
Check the article typing with pleasure to learn more about editor latency and its effects on typing performance.
