Solve inactive tab slow JS problem #1

Open brillout opened 4 years ago

From Tim

I pin a ClockTab tab in Chrome so I can glance at the tabs and get a current time. That works for a while on a freshly opened Chrome instance, but over time it seems that Chrome loses interest in updating the tab header. When I go to the tab, it wakes up and refreshes, but until I take tha explicit step I can't always rely on the value shown.

Possible solution: play inaudible sound
