When implementing a tiny timing library in JS a few years back I found that most engines indeed seem to cast the value to an integer (effectively flooring it), so in order to get consistent behaviour in all environments I resorted to always calling Math.ceil on the timeout value first [1], thus making it so that the callbacks always fire after at least the given timeout has passed (same as with regular setTimeout, which also cannot guarantee that the engine can run the callback at exactly the given timeout due to scheduling). Also used a very similar timeout chaining technique as described here, it works well![1]: https://github.com/DvdGiessen/virtual-clock/blob/master/src/...
