It is still better to wait 5s without ad than with ad.

It has to be a background check, otherwise you can't explain cases (like me) where the code is running but users never noticed any delay.

I wonder if it is just a coincidence that 5s is the time before a skippable ad becomes skippable?

Either wait 5 seconds without ad, or get served an ad about switching to Chrome
