As you know, if something takes ten steps, I reduce it in half, and even if
it takes two steps, I reduce it in half, using Windows automation scripts.

But Windows Chromium browsers aggressively throttle, suspend & deprioritize
rendering & event handling when the Chromium browser window loses focus.

Probably nobody can help me, but just in case, is there a way to stop
Chromium from going into 'sleep mode' when it's not the active window?

I'm was using AHK to click UI elements, but as soon as the window loses
focus (on a main or 2nd screen), Chromium stops updating & the UI unloads.

How can we force Chromium to stay fully active even when it's not focused?

Some things just can't be done, but sometimes, someone figured a way out.
