I'm out of the loop. What happened? Did someone decompile their code and find definitive proof of a throttle for Firefox?

some explanation

To be fair, they used setTimeout() and not thread.sleep() because the latter isn't possible out of the box in JS ^^

Users who have ad blockers installed may experience suboptimal viewing

Yeah let me turn off the adblocker just for having an even more suboptimal viewing due to ads. They're lunatics.

JavaScript is an interpreted language, so no decompilation is necessary, although this is repeatable by using a Firefox user agent.

You can build a virtual machine in JavaScript and execute compiled code on it
