π‘ Why Websites Detect Inactive Tabs
Websites track tab activity for various reasons:
- Resource Optimization - Pause expensive operations when tabs are hidden
- Ad Viewability - Only count ad impressions when tabs are visible
- User Engagement - Measure actual attention and interaction time
- License Enforcement - Prevent multiple simultaneous sessions
- Bandwidth Saving - Reduce streaming quality or stop content delivery
While these may serve legitimate purposes, they can be frustrating when you want content to continue running in the background.
Tab Activity Shield gives you back control.

- Brilliant extension, needed it for a scraper that previously required me to keep the tab active.
- Alfon Labadan
- Honestly, this extension is a lifesaver. No more videos pausing or streams stopping the second I switch tabs; everything just keeps running like Iβm still there. It works right away with zero setup, and I havenβt noticed any slowdown at all. Super handy if you multitask a lot or keep tons of tabs open. Definitely worth installing
