How to disable background throttling for a specific tab? (sopuli.xyz)

I have one tab that I would like to be able to run in background unthrottled. Ideally, I would disable background throttling for the specific URL I have open in that tab. Is this possible somehow?

My go-to is pulling the tab into its own window. If I end up having too many windows I usually find I’m doing something wrong or trying to play too many idles simultaneously.

Thanks! I was trying to avoid that, but I'll keep it in mind if the other ideas do not work.

I think separate windows consume noticably more memory than a single one or fewer.
