How to disable background throttling for a specific tab?

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?

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.

Shouldn't pinning it work for that?

Limiting CPU-time that JavaScript, WASM, and others get

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.
