🎯 Never Let Your Tabs Be Detected Again

Tired of videos pausing when you switch tabs? Frustrated by streams stopping when your browser loses focus? Annoyed by web apps that only work when you're actively watching them?

Tab Activity Shield solves this once and for all.

This isn't just another tab manager - it's the most comprehensive anti-detection system available for Chrome. While competing extensions block one or two detection methods, Tab Activity Shield intercepts 12+ different ways websites track your tab activity, ensuring complete invisibility.

Complete invisibility. Websites genuinely believe your tab is active, focused, and in useβ€”always.

πŸ’‘ 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 I’m still there. It works right away with zero setup, and I haven’t noticed any slowdown at all. Super handy if you multitask a lot or keep tons of tabs open. Definitely worth installing
