No Pause Playback Free 100% free, forever. No premium tier, no ads, no data collection. Tired of your music or video stopping every time you switch tabs?

Visit the website where you want uninterrupted playback
Click the No Pause Playback Free icon in your toolbar
Click "Enable for this site"
Done! Your media will keep playing when you switch tabs
