the browser will delay the timer work for few minutes if the page is not active for too long, but it's not that matter for few minute RE delay, add a hacktimer in the script header if you want to fix it
My problem that it's not just "delayed", but just stop working completely, aka it shows "ready" in navigation bar, without timer, and will not ever make a sound until i remember and notice it by myself, and start it again by triggering an encounter.
I think it's more on me, than browser, since when i watch something, sometimes i hear that beep incredibly quiet, wouldn't surprise me if i miss it sometimes. And just raising the volume isn't an option, since it's already way too loud for me, if i work without music or background noise (IMG:[

What makes me wonder is that sometimes i fail to hear beep even when i'm doing whatever and without background noise, aka "not concentrating on something, and no additional noise to muffle the sound". It's hard for me to believe that i was absentminded enough to not hear it, but... well, i guess, it's possible. That's why i treat it just as possibility.

and the alert will block the running script in the page until you click it, you have no way to avoid that
the Notification function may do what you want, it popup anywhere without breaking script, but it may be annoying if many notifications popped, especially when you're in battle
Yes, i know it will block the script, i just didn't find a suitable alternative. That's why i tried to place it somewhere where it wouldn't matter if script is paused, aka "after beep sound was issued". But what i can't understand is why sound still delayed despite the fact that script calling it before alert and subsequent "pause".
And about "notification", isn't it useless if i'm in different tab at the moment? Generally speaking, i don't even need popup windows, notifications, or anything of those sorts, i just used "alert" as a means to change active tab - that's something that i would never miss. If there is an option that can just let me change active tab without any additional popups, i would use it.
Thanks for the reply, by the way, i really appreciate it
