Interview sites watch every move

Modern interview platforms — Yandex Code, CoderPad, HackerRank, CodeSignal — actively track what happens inside the tab. Every tab switch, focus loss, or attempt to copy the task is logged as suspicious activity and forwarded to the interviewer.

  • Visibility API

    The visibilitychange event fires the moment you switch tabs, minimize the browser, or open the task switcher.

  • focus and blur events

    Captures the moment you click into another app or switch browser windows via Alt-Tab.

  • Clipboard blocking

    Sites disable text selection, right-click and the Clipboard API so you can't copy the task or paste an answer.

The extension patches these APIs at the page level: the browser keeps telling the site «everything is active, the user is focused», while you're reading ChatGPT in another window, copying code or reviewing the task outside the page.
