Yes, I've read that same issue on a Brave forum, and they have the same issue and didn't find a solution either. Although, one person suggested a Virtual Desktop (VD), so that you can have it run there while you do something in another VD. I haven't tried it yet because it's a pretty drastic solution, and I don't know if you can actually watch/listen stuff going on in another VD.
I'm going to try, but I really want to know if there's a program or extension that can trick a tab into thinking that it's always active.
