Ha ha, "certification" is a cool idea, but it would be hard to get anyone to care about it. "Allow 5 seconds" is a feature I really want now - I might dig into

  I've wanted the "allow 5 seconds" thing for a long time too. You can manually pause and resume js by opening up the debugger and hitting pause. The code exists it just needs to be exposed to the UI.

    How would this interact with onclick handlers on buttons and the like? Would it be that after 5s the user couldn't interact with elements on the page like that (e.g. if they open an image, and wait a few seconds, they then couldn't close it because the 'x' onclick handler wouldn't run), or would each handler run by a user action (like an onclick) have 5 seconds to run?

      Either, you could even have both as options. The simplest way to do it would just be to pause js 5 (or maybe 15) seconds after page load, and have a button beside the url to resume/repause js. The devtools keep working with js paused though, so it should be possible to do something like have a onclick handler that resumes and starts a timer to repause the js. Ideally I think I'd like click's to resume js for a few seconds unless they are clicking on a link (with a href that leads to another page). I'm not certain that would be technically easy but it seems likely it would be.
