Synchronization problem when playing multiplayer browser games like OpenFront

Hello, I’ve noticed that Brave has some issues with somewhat “heavy” multiplayer games like OpenFront. Here’s what’s happening:

When I play the game, everything is fine, but when I switch tabs (for example, I want to change my YouTube music) and then return to the game tab, everything slows down/is out of sync, and it takes a long time to resynchronize with the players.

I’ve noticed this issue also affects Firefox, but not Chrome. Any ideas? Do you think it’s related to Brave?

Yeah, it’s likely Brave’s background tab throttling kicking in. When you switch tabs, it cuts resources and the game struggles to sync when you come back. Try disabling “background performance optimization” or shields for that site after that, it should run much smoother.
