How can i disable a websites permission to see if, i’m doing something in another tab. Our university has us watch lectures in the iattended app so i’m unable to take notes as it doesn’t let you click out due to them wanting us to take hand written notes
This app is degrading, it invades your privacy, it compromises your phones security by forcing you to install dubious software and they make false claims about GDPR compliance on their website. You should tell this to your university and demand they abandon this, their task is to educate you, not to bully you.
The plugin @[email protected] linked blocks the propagation of the
blurandvisibilitychangedevents. This will work if they implemented this trivially, but there are other ways to detect if you are in that tab. If they forced you to go to another tab, they would also be able to detect the lack of those events.I usually get around this by using a different virtual desktop
would you mind please elaborating?
I’m guessing they’re listening for the JavaScript blur-event: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Element/blur_event (“blur” as in the opposite of “focus”…)
You could try blocking that with this add-on: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/no-focus-spying/
