When doing a performance trace with Chrome DevTools in Chrome Canary, it now shows you additional info for animations:

1. The animation name
2. The associated DOM node
3. Whether the animation could be composited or not and specifically why that is the case

This information was always there under the hood, but DevTools never surfaced it. Before you had to go through Chrome Histograms – or do a proper trace – in order to get this info.

Now, it’s just there. Very exciting 🤩
