   Since I have always used radio apps I don't need to use a browser. But I   
    just tried 2 radio stations (local KTAR and Bloomberg Boston) using a   
    Chrome browser on 3 devices (my Samsung Galaxy S10+ phone, an ONN Android   
    tablet, and this DEZLTID Android tablet) and they all worked with the   
    screen off. Question is how long they will stay on. IIRC the websites   
    turned themselves off after awhile. So I have one now running on my ONN   
    tablet and will check back with the result...
