Well what other cases are there? Can we enumerate them and come up
with similar solutions?
Javascript has timers. We execute rather a lot of javascript from
sources we can't influence at all.
Which brings me to yet another gripe I've got with firefox, _WHY_ does
it run javascript for tabs I can't see? Simply freeze the interpreter.
Because people expect gmail to provide them with status updates even if
it's not the foreground tab.
Then again, what does JavaScript do with these timers? I don't really
see how javascript/random-native-binary are really different, something
needs doing. What something?
I agree that the thing that needs doing probably involves web developers
and threats of implied violence, but I suspect that web developers are
being created faster than we can reeducate them.
