### AI overview

Chrome has introduced four experimental metrics to the Chrome User Experience Report (CrUX) that quantify website ad load: ad count, ad density, network weight, and CPU weight. The aggregated data is public and can be accessed through CrUX Vis, APIs, and Chrome DevTools, although availability and evaluation thresholds remain limited.

### Source excerpt

Chrome can now measure exactly how obnoxious a website's ads are, from how much of your screen they swallow to how much data and CPU time they burn. Those ad-stuffed websites can finally be measured, and the results are public.
