works great

Handy extensions for annoying site behaviour like stopping playback or download timers when the tab loses focus. But beware it can break sites in subtle ways, like on vSphere it breaks renaming VMs. So recommend you use extension details and set 'Site access' to the specific sites instead of it being on by default everywhere.
