After updating to the latest version, I have a problem with running tabs sleeping. For example, when I start twitch and broadcast in the background because there are drops, I work in another tab, so the twitch window pauses. YouTube does the same. Given that the graphs and statistics of individual routers are running live in the running windows, this putting the cards to sleep is a big problem for me. In previous versions it didn’t do these problems until today after updating the browser.
Expected result: So that all running cards are still active and do not sleep.
Brave Version( check About Brave): Version 1.48.158 Chromium: 110.0.5481.77 (64 bit)
add: same problem Win 11 , Linux and host + TOR too
Hello @Dandelion, thank you for bringing this to our attention. I think there is an option for this under brave://discards/ you can give it a try. Additionally, please read the following article it explains this functionality in Chromium browsers:
I have tried all the options listed. Chrome came up with this crap, and unfortunately Brave runs on probably the same “Chromium” base. The background cards worked without sleep only if I turned the sound on and off for the video, here they continued to play. If the running video had the sound off, it automatically paused after switching to another tab. This is unacceptable to me. The PC has enough power and it is unnecessary for the browser to determine the release of load capacity by itself.
PC set:
CPU - 32 cores / 64 threads - AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 5975WX
RAM - 128 GB
when I set everything to enabled = doesn’t work, the tab is suspended when I set everything to disabled = doesn’t work, the tab is suspended
It doesn’t matter if I set enabled or disabled. I tried Google Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Brave, Tor.
Unusable with the same problem = Google Chrome, Brave
Usable that work as they should without sleeping tabs = Firefox, Opera, Tor
The result is that I am forced to change the browser and that solves the problem.
add: Version 108.0.5359.125 (Official) (64bit) Chrome and Brave have good function, new version is very bad
Finally, can you try disabling Hardware Acceleration in settings to see if this resolves the issue? You’ll find this in Settings → System → Hardware Acceleration
Unfortunately it didn’t help. The problem is Chromium, which does the same thing on Google Chrome. It does not use Opera or Firefox, and the problem is not there.
