A practical profile-and-fix loop for frame drops in HTML5 embeds.

Fixes that help non-coders
Close other tabs.

Disable heavy extensions for the session.
Update graphics drivers on old laptops.

Extension interference
Ad blockers and privacy extensions change load behavior. Retry once with extensions disabled.
