Disable Page Visibility API Extension

This addon disables the Page Visibility API. This prevents, for example, video conferencing systems from detecting whether you are in their tab or in another window.

The source code of this add-on can be found here: https://github.com/marvinschopf/disable-page-visibility-api

The addon's icon is a derivative of \"Expand New Tab\" by Syafiqa Fickle from the Noun Project, used under CC BY.

It's going to be ok- Just Breathe (ID: 000000369376034d) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 02/26/2024 doesn't work on you tube with sound off, which is what i needed it for

Terr Kaan (ID: 000000509003a58b) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 10/22/2023 does what it says but disables auto-play on the website i need it for.

Lestairon Black (ID: 0000000ffbceb38f) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 07/24/2023 It does not work on Mozillas page. Perhaps there's a new implementation that sometimes breaks this extension? https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Page_Visibility_API

T (ID: 000000709fdda177) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 07/19/2023 While it does (mostly) prevent pages from tracking whether or not the tab is focused, it also prevents multi-textbox UI's from working. If you're inputting a form (like a matrix) with multiple textboxes, this extension causes all text boxes to be filled in at once. If you're using the find tool (ctrl + f) that is part of a webpage (not the chrome built-in one) then it will not allow you to use it until the extension is disabled. I don't know if there is any way around this for the developer, so 4 stars.

Jiří Urban (ID: 000000f8edf41133) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 07/07/2023 You have to whitelist particular web where you want to use this extension since it breaks YouTube and Google Maps when turned on globally.
