What is Network Information?
Network Information is a Chrome extension that uses 'navigator.connection' API to provide insights into your system's network connection. It showcases the downlink speed, connection type, and round trip time (rtt). A speed gauge presents the estimated browser bandwidth, with options to refresh the UI or monitor online/offline status.

Summary

Network Information is an extension that provides information about your system's connection.

It is working based on a new JavaScript API called "navigator.connection". When you open the toolbar popup UI, there is a big speed gauge at the top center which shows the "downlink" speed for your browser. This speed refers to the estimated bandwidth in megabits per second (not related to the current internet speed). Other metrics for the network information API are connection type and round trip time (rtt). There is a reload button at the top right corner of the screen which is for reloading the app UI. There is also a wifi icon at the middle right section of the screen which shows the online or offline status of your browser.

Ididn't found it usable because I need REAL TIME Network monitoring (something similar to Linux-based network monitors) to see inbound/outbound Mbp/s CURRENTLY going THRU BROWSER (not some unknown data measurements which looks good even if the site DOES NOT transmit any data).
