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 | |

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. | |

You have to whitelist particular web where you want to use this extension since it breaks YouTube and Google Maps when turned on globally. | |

One of the most useful yet simple extensions I've ever used. |
