Even if this did happen I doubt browsers would support it (as already mentioned) If nostalgia is the problem, it would be far less effort to recompile those games into html5

Poltergeist had a network_traffic mode which we found quite useful. (Seeing if requests were made etc) Does Chrome headless have an equivalent? It's the only thing preventing us from moving across. And if not where should I raise it?

The history API can only change the path, you can't change the entire hostname with it, that would open too many doors to phishing if that was possible.

Usually when people refer to something as blocking / non-blocking they mean I/O bound tasks not CPU-bound. Something like a while loop blocking is surely to be expected? Many would argue this is not an example of a blocking call.

Because it's a great (quick and easy) way of making sure JavaScript and the browser's internal rendering functions don't run at the same time and cause data races. Asynchronous callbacks share the same queue as gui tasks, and

Yes this is true, defer should pull down scripts asynchronously, but execute them in inserted order. If it's just scripts that's all you need to do, you don't need this.

I think that's an unfair comparison. (Hardware) Synthesisers are pretty much feature complete, once a good one is made there's not much more you can add to it and therefore the evolution of them over the years hasn't changed

Could someone explain how this spreads and then executes itself on other machines? Does it require user interaction?
