"improve user interface experience (for example, by stopping video playback or slideshow when user switches to another browser tab)."
In general, please don't do that. I might want to listen to the video or check and save a reference from the video in an another browser window. I think there are many uses cases where this kind of automation, especially without ability to disable it, actually hinders usability.
