Summary

Some website use the Page Visibility API ( https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Page_Visibility_API ) to behavior differently when the user switch to other browser tabs. Sometimes it's not what you want. This extension totally disables the whole Page Visibility API so websites would never know that their pages are not visible even all.
