Is there a way to track an extension's resource usage?

I've noticed through GitHub and Google search that a lot of people have similar issues as mine: vscode hangs and apart from the text editor, nothing works. Sometimes everything but debugging works.

As usual, disabling all extensions make it work perfectly. Checking developer tools, I can notice [Extension Host] working like crazy.

My question is: is there a way to check each extension's usage of process, disk, etc? Something similar to Google Chrome's Task Manager.

In Chrome, 15 tabs can range from 1 GB to 2 GB of memory used, depending on the media content. Take a look at how much memory your Chrome tabs and extensions by copying chrome://memory-redirect/ in your browser. After doing a few tests with the same 15 tabs open in Mozilla Firefox, memory usage is 35 to 45% lower.

Does Chrome use a lot of RAM?

If you have ever run your own browser RAM-use test, there's a strong chance you found Chrome using more RAM than other browsers. Google Chrome is absolutely one of the fastest browsers, but it needs a lot of RAM to take that title.
