Not clear if plugin reads whole dataset into memory?

I'm trying to work out whether this plugin reads the whole OME-zarr dataset into memory when loading a dataset, or instead only the visible chunks are loaded. I tried looking at the README (https://www.napari-hub.org/plugins/napari-ome-zarr) but this didn't seem to mention anything.

Does anyone know the answer to this? I'd be happy to open a PR to include this when I know what the plugin does!

Since it reads lazily with dask, I don't think this does read the whole dataset into memory.
