We contacted the authors of the paper and have been...deeply disappointed. Chrome (dunno about FF) correctly caps background use per design.

There is no zero day as far as we can tell. The limits are: - bgSync and other retry-inducing systems backoff exponentially & have caps on total runtime (and they appear to work) - push notifications have a limit to number of silent pushes (2, I think)

The paper is riddled with errors large and small. I think someone from our team requested corrections (but I'd need to double check).

As always, there could be bugs in our impl, and we welcome folks to file, and to publish responsibility disclosed issues. What happened here thankfully is only embarrassing for the authors and not a problem for users.

It's unfortunate that the paper was amplified like this. Would have been happy to save the authors more potential frustration.
