Reviews of lighthouse:
New update that removes it from the developer tools limits the functionality to only giving it an URL. This limits websites that use auth in different ways such as cookie tokens, tab exclusive auth tokens, etc. It opens on a new tab which I rather not.
Good plugin but would be more useful if it also included desktop tests. Only mobile tests are currently being performed
Lighthouse dev tools is a good utility tool from chrome web store.
