Description from extension meta
Pretend that all browser windows are active by spoofing the visibility state event and more!
Image from store
Description from store
This extension protects against web pages tracking the activity state of the page. Some websites use this track to only offer services when the tab is active. By installing this extension a small script is injected into every webpage which overwrites the "document.visibilityState", and "document.hidden" properties to pretend the tab is always in the active state (document.visibilityState = 'visible' and document.hidden = false).
This is useful for the webpages that check your visibility state before loading resources like many music webpages. By installing this extension even if the page is opened in the background page, the player will start immediately like the page is loaded on an active tab.
Supported Trackings:
document.mozHidden (only on Firefox browser)
document.webkitHidden (only on Chromium browsers)
Supported Events:
1. visibilitychange
2. webkitvisibilitychange (only on Chromium browsers)
3. mozvisibilitychange (only on Firefox browser)
4. blur (some websites require the user to keep the tab focused)
5. mouseleave (some websites use this method to make sure the user pointer is inside the window)
Notes:
At the moment there is no exception list, so the extension injects the script on all HTTP and local HTML pages. You need to disable the extension from the options page if you need to bypass the default always active behavior. On Chromium browsers, you can also limit the script injection to a few hostnames by using the right-click context menu item called "This Can Read and Change Site Data" over the browser action button.

- (2023-07-21) Kristian Ware: It worked perfectly for my application. Details - I opened the company mandated training portal website in it's own window (on my 2nd monitor). Then I pinned the (newly installed) "Always active window" extension to Chrome. Then I clicked it (it turns blue when enabled). It refreshed the training portal webpage and I'm typing this review right now on my 1st monitor, while it continues to play uninterrupted. This is a lifesaver!!! Thank you to the devs!

- (2022-08-14) Matt Airhart: Working so far! Very annoying on CBTNuggets when I'm trying to follow-along with a lesson in Packet Tracer, or take notes, and it stops counting my "verified minutes" of watchtime. Take that, CBTNuggets!

- (2021-11-02) Brandon Duensing: Works great! I can finally watch training videos while going through emails again!
- (2021-10-31) WildTbag: Only extension i tested so far that really disables this annoying tab focus stalking. I expect this infantilism to be used on much more websites... good we have a guard here. Check the extension i.e. on: https://www.daftlogic.com/sandbox-detect-when-page-is-not-visible-using-javascript.htm Edit: Unfortunately there is a huge CPU usage on browser restart which does not end... only when i disable this extension. Re-enable and surf triggers again the CPU massive usage. Too bad.
- (2021-10-30) Vasya Pryanichkin: It does its job, but at a costly price. Chrome eats 40% of my quad-core CPU with it even if I close all tabs and leave just one empty new tab. Very suspicious.
- (2021-10-14) ROBLOX Engineers: great for ep if someone is tracking what you're soing
- (2021-10-04) Minh Quang: nice
- (2021-10-03) Võ Quốc Huy 12A1: This is sooooo freakkkin great
- (2021-10-01) Russell Hande: Works great for Twitch's broken bandwidth saver which is why I installed this. Now I can do other things while listening to Twitch without it breaking. Thanks for the extension!
- (2021-09-27) ̈: very high cpu usage!! i dont know whether this extension contains bugs or malicious code
- (2021-09-12) Madushan Jayasekera: Does the job exactly. Thanks a lot!!
- (2021-07-31) Terry Miller: I have this extension active for a single site/hostname and even still, I am seeing some kind of CPU usage bug (or malware) activity when the extension is running that results in around +20% CPU usage overall and 100% CPU usage on a single core. When I disable the extension, the CPU usage drops to normal levels. Hope this gets resolved so I can use the extension again.
- (2021-06-03) Emirhan Çalışkan: NOT RECOMMENDED! My YouTube tooltips (little message boxes appear when you hover over an element, like button etc.) were malfunctioning because of this add-on
- (2021-05-22) Ibrahima Gaye Coulibaly: Does not work with react websites
- (2021-05-01) Vladyslav Pavlus: works
