Tabs that were running before an extension was installed don't get the new extension, because of the very limited way Chrome extensions work.

I prefer to keep Array.prototype alone and to strictly separate "arrays" and "maps". But in your case it isn't all under your control of course. I see.

Just out of curiosity: is there a particular reason you use |for (let i = 0; i < methods.length; i++)| rather than |for each (let method in methods)|? Somehow I always assumed that the latter is slightly faster because it immediately stores the member in a local variable rather than requiring you to access it by its index. But with TraceMonkey you cannot really know. Dave, thank you for implementing my suggestions – starts looking really good.
