Hello all,
I have investigated the feasibility of a ‘real-life’ testing mechanism -
not testing via a specific server, but testing load time of websites such
as facebook, twitter, youtube and the likes.

Iframes cannot be embedded, nor can cross-site calls be made (ajax) for
most services, for security reasons.

The options I have found are:

   - Different client (custom build of a browser) : too complex, time
   consuming and unappealing for general public to use
   - Embedded client (e.g. java applet or flash) : too complex, time
   consuming, unappealing for general public to use AND plugin presence /
   security issues
   - Browser extensions - chrome / firefox : Chrome and firefox are popular
   browsers and writing an extension in this regard is *relatively* easy

The extension could just check the page load time and send stats to a
website of our own making.
The code can be made open source to guarantee no abusive snooping.

What is your opinion? Did I miss any other option?

Thanks and Regards,
Muhammad Yusuf Abdool Satar
