I don't know if it does everything you need, but pinning a tab prevents it from unloading AFAIK.

Thanks, I'll try that!
I believe though my problem is more throttling than complete unloading. But I am not sure how the browser works, so not sure about that.
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.
WDYM by "throttling"?
Limiting CPU-time that JavaScript, WASM, and others get
Shouldn't pinning it work for that?
I'll try, thanks!
