In Safari, which slows background JavaScript down or stops it altogether, music stops playing occasionally on Soundcloud when a song ends. The only option to prevent this is to make the Soundcloud tab the sole tab in the browser window. The window can be in the background but the tab is not treated as background tab because it is the active tab in the window.

To keep a tab active pin it, those tabs will be immune from that. And not for power consumption but simply for browser speed!
- dflock 10y agoThere's a chrome extension called 'the great suspender' that does exactly that.
