    Greetings everyone, I'm trying to use afterburner to track the metrics of a web browser game, but I failed to hook it to the browser (chrome & firefox)

    - I have set the EnableHooking = 1 on chrome & firefox's cfg
    - I have set the detection level to high

    My pc spec is R5 1600/RX 570 4G/Win 10

    Any tips for what I should be looking into? thanks

    they don't use D3D.

    There are predefined profiles for applications that are excluded by default

    Firefox and Chrome are among those.
    Did you disable the hiding pre-created profiles option and change detection level for the browsers?
    Still not a guarantee it'll work.

    user created profiles override globals.

    I'm not sure about this, can you explain more about it?


    I have disabled it and change the detection level to high but does not work on my pc

    But I have to managed to make it shown on FF on my laptop (no luck on chrome), but iirc I did the same step just like I did on my pc:
    - set the EnableHooking on the .cfg
    - set detection level to high

    My laptop spec is R7/1650 ti/win 10

    Any more insight on how to make it works for my pc? or maybe do you guys have a suggestion for other benchmarking app thats easier to hook with web browser?
    thank you very much
