I, and I bet many other players, don't have the patience to wait idly in the Browser Tab for the tournament to resume in a few minutes.
Instead, I use another tab or another browser to check emails or news.
This however frequently leads to being booted out of the tournaments.

This is not consistent. In some cases, there's a audio of cards shuffling, alerting me to the need to get back to the BBO tab.
But in many cases, there is no audio. I find myself booted out of the tourney without any warning.

In the past, I would auto-rejoin to the tourney on the following hand. But recently, getting booted is without recourse.
Can't something be done to provide a clear alert a few seconds before the next hand resumes?

Drag BBO tab to it's own window.
Make BBO window half your screen and you can browse in other half of screen.
or if you have 2 monitors you can use one monitor for BBO.

BBO doesn't like idle tabs as it is constantly checking if you are still connected and will disconnect you if window idle.

Check settings to avoid sleeping inactive tabs.
Open a different browser for your surfing

And yet you are still connected, just idle. So no reason for BBO to boot you without making a sound.
Until a couple of years ago (pre V3.1 ?) this was *not* a problem with the web client.

[As mentioned to no avail in previous similar threads, Chrome changed their policy around then to move idle tabs into background - but even disabling this, BBO still boots me without audible warning].
