This is probably because chromium thinks its not visible (which is true) if the
window is not on a visible desktop/screen. some apps (chromium, efl too)
suspend rendering when told they are not visible. some apps (like zoom) do some
weird stuff and go into some minimized mode. e also does this when the
screensaver starts too... thus apps don't render while the screen is off if
they listen to this hint. it's simply properties on a window allowing apsp to
decide what to do.

but this is a choice for chromium as to what to do with this hint provided by
the wm. e is providing it to provide more information to applications so they
can appropriately slow down updates or suspend them - up to the app.
