I am writing my piece as a solution to the browser automatically entering efficiency mode. To reiterate the issues I face,
- Videos freeze when I switch to another tab/application in fullscreen mode. This becomes a hassle when you are streaming a specific tab to another person or recording a specific tab while working on something else.
Solution:
From my experience, this can be used in any Chromium browser. Right-click a shortcut, go to properties, then on the target box after the line add
" --disable-backgrounding-occluded-windows"
After entering the text in the target box, depending on where you installed Brave, it should look similar to this:
“C:\Program Files\BraveSoftware\Brave-Browser\Application\brave.exe” --disable-backgrounding-occluded-windows
Use this shortcut to open the browser.
