New blog post! https://blogs.igalia.com/dape/2025/03/25/trace-chrome-easy-remote-tracing-of-chromium/

In performance research, a principle is reducing the overhead of the analysis tools, to improve the accuracy. Tracing remotely helps: no need for the tracing UI, and no overhead of running it. Specially useful when Chromium runs in an embedded device.

trace-chrome is the tool I wrote to capture and store the traces from a different computer, with a simple command line interface. Check it at https://github.com/jdapena/trace-chrome
