Active Window for Google Chrome™

Never Let a Tab Go Idle Again

Master Your Browser’s Focus

Modern web applications are built to monitor your activity. The moment you switch tabs, minimize a window, or move to a second monitor, background pages often freeze, pause video or audio playback, throttling performance, or interrupting active workflows. Active Window for Google Chrome™ puts you back in total control of your browsing environment. By emulating an uninterrupted active state across all approved browser windows, your tabs stay fully operational, responsive, and active—no matter where your focus actually is.

How It Works Under the Hood

At its core, Active Window for Google Chrome™ directly intercepts and adjusts the browser’s native Page Visibility and Focus APIs. It intelligently spoofs document.hidden, document.visibilityState, and related event listeners like window.onblur and window.onfocus. To target web applications that rely on secondary checks, the extension also handles additional parameters—such as window blur states, focus flags, and timer throttling—making the browser report every whitelisted window as fully visible and actively focused at all times.

Uninterrupted Workflows and Streaming

Whether you are a power user managing multi-monitor setups, a professional relying on web apps, or a casual streamer, this extension eliminates constant disruptions. Keep background web applications running live updates without annoying reload delays, ensure media players continue streaming without auto-pausing, prevent real-time monitoring tools from flagging idle states, and keep web-based games or interactive dashboards active while you work on other tasks.

Granular, Whitelist-Driven Control

You retain complete authority over which websites are spoofed and when. With intuitive domain-level toggles and customizable rules, you can apply active-state emulation globally or restrict it strictly to specific tabs and domains. This ensures you only maintain active status on the sites that need it, keeping your browser fast and responsive while conserving system resources on tabs where background throttling is still desired.

Lightweight, Secure, and Built for Privacy

Designed with modern web performance in mind, Active Window for Google Chrome™ operates with minimal memory overhead and zero noticeable latency. It requires no external network connections, inject
