On: Chrome will aggressively throttle background tabs

[discreditable]

Just what I was thinking. RIP Cookie Clicker.

Wouldn't Cookie Clicker be doing updates based on time deltas? There's no guarantees a timer will fire after the desired time even without this update. Or am I missing a feature that requires it to be able to continually process in the background?

CC only runs while you have its tab open. I'd assume there's some function that updates state regularly (even if it's only the regular auto-saves).
