  In the long run, the probability of this being exploited is approximately 100%. I'm surprised they left in such an obvious loophole.

    I'm not sure how usurping this is an 'exploit'. It's used as a heuristic to save battery life. and if you're trying to run down a user's battery I can think of better ways.

      Well you can mine bitcoins or run some botnets on victims computer.

      The goal isn't to run down the users' battery. The goal is to do whatever timer callback processing a tab is doing that got throttled in the first place.
