On my phone, as long as the page is scrolling, it seems to indicate 120 Hz, but after a few seconds there is a sudden switch to 60. Not sure if the tool is working correctly.

That'll be one of the tricks your browser employs to save compute time on animations for inactive tabs/windows. Interact with it again and the browser will allow scripts/animations to run at full speed again.

This sounds cool, but didn't work in Chrome, Chrome Canary, Edge, or Firefox on Windows for me.

Do you have Reduced Motion turned on? Works for me in Firefox.

Ah, I found the "Show animations in Windows" toggle in Windows 10. I thought it was a browser setting.

I can get any outer ring to register depending on how fast I scroll. I think it's OLED schmearing.
