		ivanmontillam 4 months ago \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Why do browsers throttle JavaScript timers? Electron is just a packager for Chromium, with the minimum code necessary to achieve that objective. Technically it is a browser. Unless I am making a serious logic flaw here, it should be applicable.

Yes, that is the question. There seems to be no good reason to keep that limitation in the packaged browser.
