it's built into Chrome. Just search speed test and it brings you to M-Lab.
Thank you!!

damn, both were kinda useful. doesn't seem $1B worth tho lol
just wait until it gets shitty.
Prepare for enshittification while Accenture tries to find an RoI.

It's all about traffic.
Toss in some ads and while you lose some customers you start generating revenue.
A company is valued by what somebody is willing to pay for it.
So kind of, yes.
