Maybe we can get plugins info in a thread at startup to make sure plugins info are cached in the UI process asap. I wonder if other ports do something like that or GetPluginInfo is just faster.

I’d rather not do any caching in the web process since the UI process dictates whether plug-ins are blocked or not and that can change at any point.
