New description:
The `document.visibility` property and the `visibilitychange` event let
content know if the user has selected or deselected a tab. If the user
switches from tab A to tab B, then tab A can receive a "hidden" event at
the same time that tab B receives a "visible" event. So it seems
potentially useful to suppress this information.
