Really?  That's one of my favourite things about the desktop: I stick a
web browser on that extra screen then it "comes with me" across all my
workspaces (these days you pretty much always need a browser at hand).

You can change this with Gnome Tweak for sure: use the HUD hotkey and
search for Tweak, then open it and select the "Workspaces" tab and
choose the right configuration from the "Display Handling" section.

If you don't have Gnome Tweak you can install the package via

  sudo apt install gnome-tweaks

Cheers!
