Overview

Stops websites from detecting when you switch tabs or minimize the window.

Prevent websites from detecting tab switches and window minimization. Whats new in Disable Page Visibility: • [v1.2.0] Action Icon - The action icon now changes based on the status of the extension. The Disable Page Visibility extension blocks websites from using the Page Visibility API to detect when you switch tabs or minimize your browser window. It also disables the blur event that triggers when the browser loses focus. This extension helps protect your privacy and can improve your browsing experience by stopping sites from detecting when you're not actively looking at them. Key Features: • Disables the visibilitychange event, preventing websites from detecting when you switch tabs. • Blocks the webkitvisibilitychange event on websites that use the WebKit version. • Prevents the blur event from firing, stopping websites from detecting when you minimize or switch out of the browser window. Why Use This Extension? • Privacy: Prevents websites from knowing when you're not actively viewing their page. • Reduced Tracking: Stops websites from tracking your activity based on tab visibility. • Improved User Experience: Stops websites from performing unwanted actions when you switch tabs or minimize the window. How It Works: This extension injects a script into every webpage that blocks the visibilitychange, webkitvisibilitychange, and blur events. By doing so, it stops websites from tracking when you leave or minimize a tab. It’s an easy way to keep your browsing habits private and free from unnecessary interruptions.
