+- Add argument to Session/Target send_command with_perf to return
+  timing information about browser write/read.
 - Update default chrome from 135.0.7011.0/1418433 to 144.0.7527.0/1544685
 - Fix: New chrome takes longer/doesn't populate targets right away, so add a
   retry loop to populate targets
