I have a memory that Chrome uses the presentationTime as the values passed to requestAnimationFrame, rather than the now timestamp that the spec says. If so, it would be good to resolve this behavior difference at the same time, as they seem connected.

Also Gecko, and the spec was corrected to reflect that a while ago. See https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/webappapis.html#event-loop-processing-model:last-render-opportunity-time-4
