Features & Capabilities

Always Active Tab is a lightweight Chrome extension that helps you appear as if you're actively using websites, without breaking their functionality. It gently simulates activity to prevent inactivity timeouts while you work.

Designed to be unobtrusive and privacy-conscious, it uses a tiny footprint and can be toggled on/off. Use cases include staying signed in on long tasks, keeping dashboards alive, and avoiding automatic logouts without interfering with site behavior.

Is Always active tab Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Always active tab requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Always active tab may not be trust-worthy. Avoid installing if possible unless you really trust this publisher.
