    Webextensions get their own webprocess as well as running in the website. I don’t have a link but if you read their source they just pass a lot of data to their process to determine things (last i looked some years ago).

    There is a trade off of executing more things on the site vs transferring a lot of data. Either way it’s a heavy extension.
