How do coroutines on JS platform behave in respect to web browser throttling? I'm thinking about stopping/restarting coroutines at page visibility events and I'm trying to find out the proper way to do it.

By default, coroutines run on the page's main event loop, so if the browser is throttling timer wake-ups then it will also prevent coroutines from resuming 👍. If you need something with more fine-grained control, I would suggest looking at the docs & source code for Android's
repeatOnLifecycle
function. You might be able to make something similar that uses the page visibility API.
