  I need everyone to look at what you can do with HTML5 “game engines”. You want mouse poisiton? You want to know if the mouse is in on the page or not? Internet speed? Audio card codec?

  If a 13 years old using the free version of construct3 can do it, capitalism can do it.

  Firefox has plugins to spoof specific tabs as always active.

    You should link them so more people can find them.

  You must be using one of those browsers from an ad company.

    There aren’t really any others though, every browser these days is made by a company with corporate interests in mind, either their own, or someone paying them.

      While it may be true that capitalism messes with all of them to some extent, I think there’s still a pretty wide chasm between a Firefox fork like LibreWolf or WaterFox versus just using a default install of Chrome or Edge.

  Because Browsers are corporate-built garbage which are designed with corporate interests in mind, same reason they choose to send good fingerprinting canvas data instead of sending randomized garbage every new session.

  It’s been a standard feature for a very long time I’m kind of surprised they’ve only just started making use of it but this kind of thing.

  A lot of sites that play sounds will stop when you tap out of them otherwise they’re just plain sounds in the background and that’s kind of annoying.

    And it’s not a bad feature to have for the functionality of some sites. It’s just that as with any feature/rule/etc it can be abused. So a toggle like (according to a comment above) some plugins exist to add is an unfortunate necessity.

      I think you can turn it off in settings
