This test will create enough timers to freeze browser UI. After 10 seconds, it
will start drain the timers so the UI becomes responsive again in a few seconds.
You don't need to kill the browser.<br>If the bug is fixed, there will be no
UI freeze. Refresh the page to repeat the experiment.<br>Try to click at this
button (or browser's menu) while UI is frozen: <button onclick="log('clicked')">Click Me</button> <hr>
