So basically I already know that JavaScript will just stop if another tab has been opened, but will it stay running if it's in a popup window under the current window the user is in? (Don't have access to a computer rn so I can't test it lel)

well, i'm no web developer by any stretch of the imagination, so i guess it'd be as if it was a seperate browser window, which at that point depends on how the browser handles seperate windows (which i guess is "keep running on whatever is the selected tab")

This isn't true. Most browsers will place limits on what an inactive tab can do so as to not waste resources but Javascript will still be running
