    Stay Active, Stay Private. Prevents websites from detecting when you switch tabs or minimize the window.
    
    Have you ever had a website pause your video, stop a timer, or flag you as "inactive" just because you switched tabs or minimized your browser? Focus Spoofer fixes that.
    
    This lightweight extension tricks websites into thinking they are always visible and focused, regardless of what you're actually doing.
    
    **Note:** For best results, it is recommended to reload the page after toggling the spoofing ON or OFF to ensure all overrides are correctly applied.
    
    V1.2 - UI Updates, Getting Ready for Launch.

    V1.4 - Fixed focus-event leaking and stale toolbar badge state; added Chrome Web Store assets.
    V1.6 - Defeats tab-switch detection in embedded video players (e.g. WeVideo/LMS): keeps animation-frame and
      video-frame callbacks alive while the tab is hidden, adds a silent audio keep-alive, and now spoofs inside
      cross-origin player iframes.
