 @6b9ab581 @aba3e4c9 All of the windows and sub-windows on a desktop know if they have focus right now or don't have focus.

But if you run a browser in a desktop inside of a virtual machine, everything running in the virtual machine doesn't know that the VM client window has lost focus -- there's no protocol for passing that message around.

Simplest way to do what you ask, without programming, is to run a desktop Linux OS in a VM with the target web page thinking it's "focused" when it's not. 
 @d0edf83a @6b9ab581 it's in a crappy chrome book. Does that make a difference? 
 @aba3e4c9 @d0edf83a 
Ah!.. what you have to do then is buy a second crappy chrome book and put it behind the first crappy chrome book! We got this!  🙃 
 @6b9ab581 @d0edf83a oooo I have a tablet I could use. 👍 thx
