Problem description
In addition to pausing Stretchly while a specific app is running, there are times users would want to pause Stretchly when accessing certain websites (e.g. browser-based video calling like Google Meet, Jitsi Meet, Zoom (browser), or Facebook Video Call).
Possible solution
While I don't believe there's any way for a JS app to detect the webpages open in a different browser*, there are programmatic ways to detect when the device's camera is in use. This StackOverflow question might be a good starting place.
Alternative solutions
*I could be wrong about detecting open tabs in other browsers. In Windows, for example, when a user hovers over an open browser's taskbar icon, it displays a preview with the name of the active tab. If there's a way to fetch this via Javascript, then we could implement per-website Stretchly exclusions, which would be even better.
