Bug: Tabs get discarded even when media is playing #345

These are the involved settings:

Do not discard a tab when media is playing
Do not discard a tab when there is a paused media player

With these settings enabled, I have noticed that tabs still get discarded when I use the picture-in-picture mode (not sure if this could be limited to certain websites). Might it be possible to add a separate option for tabs playing in picture-in-picture, or treat them like normal tabs where media is playing?

I encountered this or something similar. When playing a YT Video in picture-in-picture mode, I did not expect the associated tab to be discarded after pausing the vid, because the pop-out was "always in foreground" (not in focus though)

d.n.d.a.t. when media is playing = true d.n.d.a.t. when there is a paused media player = false
