Funnily enough the biggest offender of Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS) metric in my daily life is google search with its "people also search for" feature that causes me to constantly misclick. Lighthouse is great though :)
It's super frustrating.
This is my current uBlock filter against it, I think it still works?

This is so exhausting, infuriating and perplexing. Just 1 week after managing to claw our LightHouse score up to 90 - its shot back down 72. The arbitrary nature of their weighting is just tiring - and its compounded by the fact that noone actually knows how much this actually impacts SEO.
Looks to me that you are not. using Lighthouse for the right reasons. Lighthouse isn't there to improve your SEO. It's just a set of heuristics that make you website performance - as perceived by end users - measurable, and thus improvable. They add a quantitative score on a very qualitative process. If you clawed your Lighthouse score to 90, you should have improved your end users experience, and that's what matters…

All the publishers I know (being one myself) only care about CWV for SEO.
If you're running Google Lighthouse manually, you might want to check out a tool I'm building - https://OnlineOrNot.com - it automatically monitors your page speed (as well as uptime, and soon Puppeteer checks). It uses Google Lighthouse v8.0.0 as of this morning (Australian time). We have a free tier with no time limit or credit card required, if you want to check it out.

I generally do not find it "super cool" when I suddenly/unexpectedly have new areas to investigate.
In most cases, the developer dealing with lighthouse scores is someone who just built a website to a client's spec, only to find out that there are things that it flags which are very time consuming to deal with. Set expectations all you want, but they want a near 100%.
To do all that work only for the score to drop later makes you as a developer look bad. A client who doesn't know any better will suspect you did faulty work.

Thanks for building it! I use it on my personal website and it’s been really good.
