DNS time, connect time and so on is information that is interesting for 
the end user, who may switch collecting this information on or off. It 
should be off by default and should never be accessible to none chrome 
because this is sensible information.

It is useful for service technicians to find out, why internet does not 
work, but the question is, why must this analysis tool be part of the 
browser? It has nothing to do with web application and therefore must 
not be part of the DOM, because it is not part of the document.
