Chrome no longer supports --disable-blink-features=TimerThrottlingForBackgroundTabs

Chrome no longer recognizes or applies the command-line flag:

--disable-blink-features=TimerThrottlingForBackgroundTabs

Recent Chrome versions ignore this parameter, and background tab timer throttling remains enabled even when the flag is provided. This suggests the feature has been removed, renamed, or made non-configurable via command-line flags.

It appears that webdev triggers this automatically when running:
webdev serve -v --launch-in-chrome
