Facebook Anti-Refresh Userscript

This userscript prevents Facebook from auto-refreshing your feed when you switch tabs. It keeps your place in the timeline instead of that annoying refresh that makes you lose everything you were reading.

Features

🚫 No more losing your place in the feed
💯 Works with latest Facebook interface
🌐 Supports multiple Facebook domains
⚡ Lightweight and efficient

Installation

Install Tampermonkey or Violentmonkey
Click Install on this page
Script runs automatically on Facebook

How It Works

Overrides Page Visibility API
Intercepts refresh network requests
Blocks visibility events
Tracks user activity

Changelog

Version 1.2 (June 2, 2025)

🆕 What's New

Fixed the script completely freezing Facebook. Yeah, that was bad.

🐛 Bug Fixes

Fixed "Cannot assign to read only property 'reload'" error - Removed the location.reload override that was causing TypeError spam in console
Fixed Facebook becoming unresponsive - Removed overly aggressive MutationObservers that were watching every single DOM change
Fixed performance issues - Removed the 5-second re-application loop that was hammering the CPU for no reason

🔧 Technical Changes

Simplified network interception - Now only blocks specific refresh endpoints instead of analyzing every request to Facebook
Removed unnecessary features that were causing more harm than good:
- WebSocket interception (wasn't helping with refresh anyway)
- Service Worker blocking (overkill)
- Aggressive script injection monitoring
Better error handling - Added try-catch blocks so one error doesn't break everything
Lighter activity tracking - Only tracks essential user interactions (click, scroll, keypress)

📈 Performance

Before: Facebook freezing, console errors, high CPU usage
After: Smooth experience, minimal overhead, no errors

💡 Developer Notes

Turns out trying to block EVERYTHING Facebook does is a terrible idea. This version takes a much more targeted approach - only blocking what's actually needed to prevent the refresh. If it works, don't touch it!

Version 1.1 (Original)

⚠️ Known Issue

To close Facebook posts, use ESC key or X button only. Clicking outside triggers redirect to top of feed. Script prevents refresh but not the redirect.

See screenshot below for details.
