When a web page is opened via voice command, the browser screen will eventually time out. There doesn't appear to be any way to go back to the opened page, or to set the page to not timeout. This is incredibly frustrating when following a cooking recipe from a site. In fact, it makes one of my primary uses cases entirely useless.
I have tried toggling the "Screen timeout" in the Display options for the device in the Google Home app which has no impact.
This seems like it should be a very simple thing to do.

I have the same issue, and I agree it makes the device almost useless for my purpose - I only bought it to follow recipes. Seems there's loads of threads and complaints about this for years - https://www.googlenestcommunity.com/t5/Speakers-and-Displays/Browser-state-and-timeout/m-p/319553/th...
Would be great if they could confirm this is being looked at, or provide a fix/workaround.
