It is my belief that most players will check this thread and follow the instructions without carefully analyzing what they're doing.
Given that, I want to point out that
most people should NOT do this!
Need a TL;DR? Just because you do,
Do NOT do this!

Yes, it's annoying that our favorite game disconnects us like this, especially in the lobby waiting for a game to fill (It happened to me a few times before being linked to this post).
However, these two features in particular are extremely useful optimizations. From the linked article:
引句:
Google found that JavaScript Timers represent more than 40% of the work in background tabs. Chrome now prevents background tabs from waking up your CPU too often and rendering tabs that you can't see. Specifically, the browser throttles JavaScript timer wake-ups in background tabs to once per minute. This reduces CPU usage by up to 5x and extends battery life up to 1.25 hours, according to the team's internal testing. Background features like playing music and getting notifications are unaffected.
Occlusion Tracking, which was previously added to Chrome OS and Mac, is now available on Windows. The feature allows Chrome to know which windows and tabs are visible to you and optimize resources for the tabs you are using, not the ones you've minimized. Chrome as a result is up to 25% faster to start up and 7% faster to load pages, all while using less memory.
To most of you, my advice is the following: Do NOT disable them. Especially if you don't know what you're doing!
Disable them only if you:
* Know what the Chrome flag does, are aware of the implications in your browser resources usage, and are ok with the tradeoff.
* Know that Chrome flags can, at any point, be removed and the feature to be enabled by default. Doesn't matter if you disabled it before.
* Are a developer testing the flags on your site.
* Don't care and just want atWar to work (and won't complain about your browser in the future, although I know you will...).
Chrome already warns you about this when you enter the flags page:
引句:
WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL FEATURES AHEAD! By enabling these features, you could lose browser data or compromise your security or privacy.
This isn't a long-term solution anyway. To ensure that things are working the atWar client will have to be modified (sooner rather than later) to use a more efficient, browser-friendly solution.
