Love Tracy!

One neat feature is that you can import Chrome traces. Instrument with normal JS perf marker API! The Tracy UI is just so much better for viewing them.

That said, the title confuses me: I am always thinking of Tracy as an instrumented profiler, not a sampling profiler. I only ever used it as instrumented.

Sampling: Profiler takes stack samples of any code, at fixed frequency, gives you rough hotspots. Instrumented: Report sample points to profiler. Requires putting profiling point into the code to be analyzed.
