Incognito Canvas keeps Canva running at full speed while you browse other tabs — no pausing, no "you're away" detection, no interruptions to your work.
How it works
Three layers of spoofing that run before Canva's scripts get a chance to detect you've left.
The extension hooks in at document_start — overrides are in place before Canva's own scripts run or register any listeners.
When you switch tabs, visibilityState stays "visible" and document.hidden stays false. Canva never knows you left.
All visibilitychange and blur events are silently intercepted — Canva's pause and detection logic never triggers.

Use cases
Jump to Google Docs, Notion, or a brief in another tab and come back to a Canva that's exactly where you left it — no reload, no reset, no waiting.
Canva presentations and video exports pause the moment you leave the tab. Incognito Canvas keeps them running so renders finish in the background.
On a Zoom or Google Meet call reviewing a Canva deck? Switch to the meeting tab without Canva interrupting or pausing your shared design.
Freelancers managing multiple projects: hop between tabs freely. Canva stays fully active — no "click to resume" banners, no session timeouts, no surprises.
