About WakeTab - Always Active Tabs

WakeTab - Always Active Tabs Tired of music players pausing, dashboards dimming, or web apps disconnecting the moment you switch tabs? WakeTab keeps the sites you choose running as if they were always in the foreground - even while you're working in another tab or window. KEY FEATURES - Per-site whitelist: pick exactly which sites should stay "active" in the background. Nothing changes for any other site. - Stay visible: whitelisted pages always see themselves as visible and focused, so they keep playing audio/video, refreshing data, and running animations normally. - Block focus-loss detection: optionally suppress blur and mouse-leave events too, for sites that are extra aggressive about pausing when you click away. - Keep your computer awake: an optional system-wide toggle prevents your computer from going to sleep while you need a long-running task to keep going. - One-click control: the popup shows the current site and lets you turn WakeTab on or off for it instantly. - Private by design: all settings stay on your device and sync only through your own Chrome account. No tracking, no analytics, no external servers. HOW IT WORKS 1. Open the site you want to keep active. 2. Click the WakeTab icon and enable the toggle for that site. 3. Reload the page - it will now keep running as if it's always active, even in a background tab. Perfect for music and video streaming sites, live dashboards, chat apps, download managers, and any web page that needs to keep working while you multitask.
