It has a accepted solution.

But one key issue is that browers throttle down or even pause inactive 
windows/background tabs.
Partly blame digital currency mining for this, blame the rest on bad 
programmers running full tilt when they don't need to and DDOS trojans 
for the rest.

I haven't looked this up, but is there a way to ask the user for 
permission to run as a background app without performance restrictions?
That is the only way I forsee this working across all browsers.
