I have a script that performs certain actions in the social. networks. If I make the window active (open it and keep it that way), then the script works fine. But if I switch to another application or something similar, then sooner or later NoSuchElementException errors begin to appear.

selenium.common.exceptions.NoSuchElementException: Message: no such element: Unable to locate element: {"method":"css selector","selector":".PostHeaderActionsButtonMoreIcon"}

Sounds like the site is using the Page Visibility API: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Page_Visibility_API – pcalkins Jun 21 '22 at 23:27
@pcalkins it looks like that's really the problem. But that's just the reason. Now we need to come up with a solution. – Черно - Светник Jun 21 '22 at 23:38
