Hacktimer
Keeps JavaScript timers at full speed in background tabs
Keep your web apps running on time, even in background tabs. Chrome slows down the JS timers of every tab that is not in the foreground: timers run at most once per second, and after five minutes chained timers can drop to once per minute. Dashboards stop refreshing, monitors miss events, chats and web apps fall behind. HackTimer removes that limit. It moves each page's timers into a background worker that Chrome does not slow down, so they keep their exact timing while you work in another tab.
To free memory, Chrome can discard background tabs: the page is unloaded, its connections are closed and it starts again from scratch only when you open the tab. HackTimer keeps the tabs of the websites it covers loaded, so connections, requests and live updates continue in the background.
