About Focus Spoofer

Stop videos from pausing when you switch tabs. Focus Spoofer stops websites from detecting when you switch tabs, minimize Chrome or move to another window, so videos, streams and lectures keep playing while you multitask. Useful for: • TikTok videos that stop when Chrome loses focus • Twitch streams that pause when you switch tabs • Online courses and lecture players that pause or flag you as "inactive" • Timers, animations and "Are you still there?" prompts that trigger when you look away How it works Turn it on for the tab you're watching, or tick "Always protect this site" to cover it on every visit. The tab reloads once so protection starts before the site's own scripts. From then on the page always sees a visible, focused tab: • Tab switches and minimizing stay hidden (document.hidden stays false) • Other windows and apps stay hidden (hasFocus() stays true, window blur never reaches the page) • Video and animation callbacks keep running in the background, including inside embedded players • Optional fingerprint randomization (canvas, WebGL, audio), which you can turn off in Settings Buttons, forms and menus inside the page keep working normally. See it work: focus.oddworks.us/test Private by design: no account, and your browsing history and page content never leave your browser. Optional anonymous usage stats are off unless you turn them on. What's new 1.8.1: New uninstall feedback form at focus.oddworks.us. 1.8: Reliability release. Forms and menus no longer break, protection survives browser restarts and follows tabs to new sites, much lower CPU use, redesigned popup and settings. 1.7: Fingerprint randomization, and a closed loophole in visibility detection. 1.6: Works inside embedded video players.
