Dead Screen

About

Some websites try to detect whether you’re actively looking at the page. They can tell when you switch tabs, minimize the window, or move to another app.

Dead Screen helps you take back control.

With one click, you can shield your browser so sites can’t automatically detect when you leave the page or lose focus.

In addition, Dead Screen helps reduce hidden tracking in the background. It blocks common tracker networks, removes unnecessary tracking parameters from links, and flags suspicious activity before consent is given.

You get clear insights into what a site is doing and the ability to choose how much protection you want.

WHAT YOU GET
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

🔹 Visibility & Focus Shielding  
Intercepts and neutralizes browser visibility and focus state signals (visibilityState, blur, focus) to reduce automatic engagement-state detection.

🔹 Tracker Network Blocking  
Blocks outbound requests to widely used analytics and tracking domains using dynamic filtering rules.

🔹 Telemetry Field Scrubbing  
Removes common high-risk identifiers and tracking parameters from outgoing requests when possible.

🔹 Referrer & Query Parameter Cleanup  
Strips common tracking query parameters (UTM tags, click identifiers) from navigation URLs and removes unnecessary referrer/origin headers on third-party tracker calls.

🔹 Pre-Consent Monitoring Detection  
Detects tracking activity occurring before user consent and flags it in real time.

🔹 Tracking Insights Dashboard  
Provides real-time tracking classification with risk levels and configurable protection modes (Balanced or Strict).

YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Dead Screen runs entirely inside your browser.

• No browsing data is collected  
• No activity logs are transmitted  
• No external servers are used  
• No personal information is stored  

All detection, blocking, and scrubbing happens locally on your device.

Chrome may display a permission warning because the extension needs access to modify visibility signals and filter tracking requests. These permissions are required for functionality not data collection.

You remain in full control.
