visibilitychange event is not triggered when switching program/window with ALT+TAB or clicking in taskbar

Question

The problem is with the behaviour of the event \"visibilitychange\".

It\'s triggered: - When I switch to a different tab inside the browser window.

There's a very simple solution to this I have come across.

You just need to pass false to the useCapture while attaching an event listener to the document. Works like a charm!

 document.addEventListener('visibilitychange', function () {
  // code goes here
}, false)
