2024-07-23	Firas Saidi	works perfectly, this should be built into the browser itself, the user should have the option to choose if they want to allow or deny access to the Visibility API.

2023-12-26	moe	Wors exactly as expected. Pages do not know they are not "focussed" anymore and don't pause the download countdowns.
