Okay, so I've been looking into this for about two hours and can't seem to find anything that will work.
Basically, I want to game on one monitor in full screen mode and be able to browse on the other monitor without minimizing my full screen application.
I've read suggestions that said to run games in windowed mode at my native resolution. This is not an option. It is too messy and a lot of my games won't support removing of borders. Please do not suggest this.
I've also tried using a program called Actual Multiple Monitors, which has a feature that apparently allows you to disable deactivation of a window, as seen here:

This does not work for me either. It just minimizes everything either way.
I already know of programs to use to allow mouse scrolling out of full screen applications. This is not the issue. The issue is what happens when I try to interact with anything outside of said application.
I am using Windows 8 with two monitors. Any help is appreciated.
It baffles me that this is not a standard feature in Windows, despite multiple monitor setups being a thing. There is absolutely no reason this should not exist.
