Good Luck!  I'll be monitoring to see if anybody can find a fix!  I have hunted in the past and was unsuccessful.

Pluto TV doesn't load until the background tab becomes active, Hulu will unpause a paused video if it is in the background, there are others, those are just the two that come to mind.  Nothing to do with "discards", very annoying, I was never able to find a fix.

In any event, you should provide an example site(s).  So at least others can add that to the list of Pluto TV, Hulu, and now your site(s).

It does sound like it is a "freeze". That is the word I would use for suspending execution. But searching for freeze brings up unrelated support requests for the program hanging or crashing.

Some posts mention "Energy Saver" but I don't have that available to turn on or off.

Chromium/Forks will *only* have that option on MOBILE DEVICES such as laptops.

It will appear on chrome://settings/performance BETWEEN the Memory and Speed options, but again *only* on mobile devices.

Technically, I would use the word "idle" instead of "freeze".

Idle = intentional pause, WILL resume when tab becomes active...
Freeze = unintentional hang, will NOT resume when tab becomes active...

"Idle" sounds more like when a program has finished executing and is sleeping by its own choice because it has nothing to do. Similar to idle CPU time in task manager when no program is forcibly stopped.

Freeze is the term Chrome shows in discards.

Well, whichever we call it, nobody has presented any solutions.  

Idle = does nothing, waits in stanby mode to shoot again.
Freeze = will not resume when it sees the enemy because it's frost.

One's gotta be English, Germanic to understand.

does anyone knows if the browser will work under win 2000;

Not at the moment.
It has been talked about on GitHub, but I don't think things ever progressed.

... A similar question was asked on Mar 17th (some pages back  ) by another MSFN member, and, again, Dave-H  gave, pretty much, the same assessment, in a comment right beneath it ...

So none knows anything new about it

It was too far-fetched right from the start.

Windows 2000 users might be pushing 80s or 90s. He could've just forgotten or missed. Wait a bit, will be in the same shoes.

It would take less work to configure Windows XP to look like Windows 2000. A web brower requires post-XP level hardware anyway to run.

A forum operator, for instance, wouldn't want a bot potentially harvesting all their members' e-mail addresses, so it is fundamentally privacy concerns.

Aren't they, e-mail addresses, supposed to be completely hidden anyways?

Also: decided to try, and not glad at all:

@mjd79 sandbox, you here discussed with @D.Draker, is still not fixed.

With the --no-sandbox YouTube works, but not good. Same for you?
