Keep Tab Active helps sites continue their normal activity when you switch to another tab.

Click the extension icon to turn it on for the current tab. The green KTA icon shows that protection is active. Click the icon again to turn it off.

When active, the extension:

Reports the selected tab as visible.
Reports the page as focused.
Blocks common blur and visibility-change events.
Applies the setting only to tabs that you select.
Clears the setting when you close the tab or browser session.

This extension can help with sites that pause media, stop updates, or change their behavior when a tab becomes inactive.

Keep Tab Active does not disable browser-level resource limits or background throttling. It only changes the page signals that sites commonly use to detect an inactive tab.

The extension does not collect, store, or send personal data.

Is Keep Tab Active 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.

Keep Tab Active requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details

Critical Allows access to all websites, posing a significant security risk as it can monitor and modify data from any visited site.

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.

Keep Tab Active is recently added, and hasn't been around long enough for us to gather enough data to accurately assess its risk level.
