Is there a web browser that keeps websites loaded in background for android?

I use KoboldAI horde with TavrenAI and some AIs take a long time to get to me from the queue. I would like to use other apps while waiting but the site reloads when i enter the browser, which is native alpha and fennec

I believe Android very aggressively swaps things out of memory, and just keeps a very memory efficient app bookmark to reload the app in the position you were at.

If you want to insure an app works in the background you might want to split screen, keeping your browser open while you do something else
- There's a setting under Power/Battery on my phone to allow an app to run in the background, which makes it so it doesn't get stopped. @mariah@feddit.rocks maybe that would help you?
- Ya. I wish my rom had freeform windows
  
  It probably does! Android split screen has been built into AOSP for a very long time.
- You used to be able to just create a fixed notification and Android would never kill the app. This is not the case anymore?
  
  I have apps running all the time that has a fixed notification
You could use the split-screen thing to have two apps opened at the same time. Someone else also already commented that there's a setting to allow the app unrestricted battery usage, which basically allows it to run in the background without getting killed.
- It still gets killed when i exit it
If I'm understanding you correctly, Brave Browser does that.
- It doesnt
I came up with a solution termux-x11 with firefox
