JS setTimeout won't wait for using Scratchpad
Consider the following script
function func()
{
alert('b');
if (document.readyState != 'complete')
setTimeout(func(),1000);
else
alert('a');
};
window.location.replace('https://www.google.com/');
setTimeout(func(),5000);
When I run the script, I get an alert immediately without waiting 5 seconds.

You need to remove the parentheses from func:
setTimeout(func,5000);
Otherwise, the function is called immediately, rather than being passed as a function to be called later.
function func()
{
alert('b');
if (document.readyState != 'complete')
setTimeout(func,1000);
else
alert('a');
};
setTimeout(func,5000);
