Plays very quiet audio in order to prevent [Panda Crazy](https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/19168-jr-mturk-panda-crazy) (or other scripts) from being throttled.

Newer versions of Firefox and Chrome will throttle tabs in the background and make scripts like Panda Crazy not work as well. You can put tabs in another window to get around this, but sometimes your workflow doesn't make this easy, so you can install this script and it will prevent the browser from slowing down the tab.

It only runs on the same pages that Panda Crazy runs on. You can add more URLs and it should work just fine.

**NOTE:** In later versions of Chrome (and maybe Firefox) pages might be prevented from playing sound until you interact with it. Dumb idea I know, but you can already see this in action with the beta version of Chrome (Canary). Just make sure when you open Panda Crazy you click somewhere (doesn't matter where) on the page.
