Simulate all whitelisted browser windows as active by spoofing the visibility state event and more!

Description from store
[Breaking Change] Version 0.4.0 and above.
The extension must now be enabled for each hostname individually. This adjustment enhances the extension's performance, as the always-active feature can disrupt websites. To activate it, open the page requiring the always-active feature in a browser tab and click the action button once. The page will refresh, and the action button will turn blue.
---
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)

- (2025-06-29) Anders Bjerin: Works like a charm. I can now work with several tabs at the same time.
- (2025-06-21) Lado Ristić: Doesn't work on Facebook anymore.
- (2025-06-15) Mia Anaya: Awesome to keep background videos playing
- (2025-06-10) Daniel153: This was a great extension, works as expected for all websites! I installed this extension a while back, and it stopped working recently. Just removing and reinstalling the extension will fix the issue.
- (2025-04-30) aigarsa: does not work unfortunately.
- (2025-04-25) Marcela Bustamante: I downloaded this because it was supposed to stop Facebook refreshing. Sadly, there seems to have been an update that exempts Facebook, so it doesn't work. Any app or extension that quietly exempts companies or pages is unethical....
- (2025-04-23) jason: Stopped working. I'll make it 5-star when it's working again.
- (2025-04-23) ̇: Same, it stopped working on April 2025, fb is refreshing.
- (2025-04-16) LooneyTunes Horner: Facebook was refreshing every time I opened a new tab to read something but then I found out about this extension so installed it and it's great. I use Brave browser. UPDATE... No longer works on Facebook 16/04/2025
- (2025-04-09) ME Chapman: Right now I'm on the fence about it. I was just in FB and it refreshed the page. It had been working since I downloaded the app. So for about 5 hours. I was reading a stupid pop-up post they force us to have now and poof it was gone. Do I have my settings right? I added Facebook to the list and it says it's on.
- (2025-04-04) Patrick Gronemann: Fantastic!
- (2025-04-01) L: Works well on 99% of websites, however I've managed to find some exceptions like monkeytype, I'd still give it 5 stars though because its great!
- (2025-03-29) Mick sheeran: Great stops facebook refreshing..
- (2025-03-24) kradena horilka: don't work with twitch at all
- (2025-02-20) Einar Boson: Amazing. So much less frustrating using Facebook. It is possible to narrow its permissions to only work on sites of your choosing in the extensions options. This seems prudent as you never know what happens to updates in the future.
- (2025-01-31) BHASKAR KUMAR 2024038101: USING IT FOR A WHILE WORKING FINE
- (2025-01-26) eaglegrad 16: NOPE. Doesn't work with Chrome BETA. Guess it's just for the classic version which I upgraded from bc it was hijacked.

- (2024-12-02) Kim Clifford: Not working with Edge browser. Facebook still refreshes.
- (2024-11-29) freebird1963: Not working for me with Facebook. Its still refreshing. Zucker sucks FYI. Chrome. Win 7 if any of that matters. Turned off all other extensions to see if there was a conflict but doesn't seem to be. Maybe some other setting but since no real troubleshooting guide can't tell.
- (2024-11-20) Jason White: Works great for me!!
- (2024-11-13) Seth Taylor Proffitt: Trash on chrome and firefox. not working on latest browser versions

- (2024-10-11) p: man baby did not know there was an update released that automatically turns off always active window after they added the new feature. the extension is disabled at first which youll need to enable in order for the extension to work. the extension doesnt work for them because they simply forgot to turn it on LMFAO
- (2024-09-30) Min Zayar Phyo: the past version would be better this doesn't work
- (2024-09-22) Sanghani Dhruv: Not Working This Extension past version is excellent this version sooo bad.
- (2024-09-16) Hozz8528: Used to work perfectly until I run IOBit Advanced System Care to speed up my browser. It used to remember which sites, even which parts of the site I turned it on, but now it forgets my settings every time I close or reload the tab and in some cases it doesn't even want to change modes. Help?
- (2024-09-11) Galaxies Crafter: When I turn it on blue, it usually has a check mark, but when I reload the page it is still blue but there is no check mark and it doesn't seem to work properly. I had to turn it off and on again to get it to work, but when I reloaded the website it was the same issue. Anyway, this extension helped me a lot. Thank you!
- (2024-09-07) Abhishek Singh: Working Perfectly on online Exam where Tab Switching is not allowed.
- (2024-08-24) Arish Pathan: very usefull
- (2024-08-10) John Weiss: Love this extension. But the word "globally" in Options is very misleading, since the extension isn't supposed act on all site globally, but only the sites in "List of Hostnames". Do these "global" options affect sites NOT listed in "List of Hostnames"? If not, please remove the word "globally". Thx!
- (2024-08-06) Abhishek Sharma: good
- (2024-08-03) Daniel Pasos: On Chromne the extension is only working On click. In Details, if you have it set to All sites or Specific sites, it doesn't work
- (2024-08-02) Erin Shelly: Does not work as described; set to specific sites, yet fails to keep facebook from auto-refreshing.
- (2024-07-29) Oliver Gillz: It was an awesome app but they changed it to be close till you click it open, it was way better the way around, when it was "always on till you click it off" now it useless for me. I've put 3 stars because its still working, but i would have put 5 if it was like before update. hope they will change it or to put a button that you can change between "open at start/close at start" kind of choice
- (2024-07-20) Prince Keyal: I recently had the opportunity to try out Active Screen, and it exceeded my expectations in several key areas. This product is designed to enhance productivity and improve the overall experience of managing digital content. Here’s my detailed review: User Interface and Design Active Screen boasts a sleek and intuitive user interface. The design is clean and modern, making it easy for users to navigate through various features. The layout is logical, and all the essential tools are easily accessible. I found the color scheme and iconography particularly pleasing, which contributed to a pleasant user experience.
- (2024-07-15) Raghavendra R: Is this extension working post the latest update ? Can someone lease let know, thanks! How do we test this if this is working or not ?
- (2024-07-10) Demon1342: Stopped working in twitch after latest update
- (2024-06-24) Sarthi Kalathiya: it is very good and helpful when server does not serve when tab is not active.
- (2024-06-22) Uchil: It should be a feature in the browser. Depending on the website it can overuse RAM, but all extensions can be configured to work on a white list, so it's not a problem
- (2024-06-22) leafbelly: The good: It does what it says and prevents pages from autorefreshing The bad: It completely wrecks your Chrome browser and slow most tabs to a crawl, spikes your CPU and RAM usage and causes some pages to freeze, interacts with Outlook email (highlighting sections of text) and is just terrible on your system. I applaud the effort, but this extension is, unfortunately, unusable.
- (2024-06-20) Abdullah Elmasry: among all other extensions that do the same this one really works for me not just say good things
- (2024-06-06) Alex Feldman: Works well
- (2024-04-14) Miklós Kaboldy: I does not work for me on Facebook
- (2024-04-10) Avith Ortega: I am using this to avoid the autorefresh thing of Facebook when changing tabs on Chrome, and it works. However after some time it started using 100% of my CPU for some seconds, and it constantly gets the Facebook page veery laggy.
