YouTube periodically pauses video playback after detecting user inactivity by showing a 'Continue watching?' confirmation dialog. This extension solves the annoyance of having videos stop during long listening sessions, background music playback, or when the user is away from the keyboard.
1. User installs the extension and browses YouTube/YouTube Music normally. 2. The content script (content.js) injects autoconfirm.js into YouTube pages. 3. autoconfirm.js uses a MutationObserver to watch for the inactivity confirmation popup. 4. It monitors user activity (mouse, keyboard) to track idle state. 5. When the 'Continue watching?' popup appears and the user is idle, the extension auto-clicks the popup container to dismiss it and calls videoElement.play() to resume playback. 6. If the user has actually interacted (moved mouse, pressed keys), the extension allows normal pause behavior.

The extension contains no payment processing, no subscription logic, no feature gating, no license checks, no premium tier, and no upgrade prompts. The 'pro' keyword hits are false positives from 'processInteraction' function names. The donate-paypal.png image exists in the package but is not referenced in any source code - it is a dead asset with no functional integration. The extension is fully functional with all features available to all users.

- The extension operates entirely client-side on YouTube/YouTube Music pages. It contains no authentication logic, no login UI, no OAuth flows, no account creation, and no API calls to any authentication service. The content script and autoconfirm.js work directly on the DOM without any user identity requirement. The 'session' keyword hits refer to navigator.mediaSession (Media Session API for media key handling), not authentication sessions.
Doesn't work for me. I always use a window with 1/4 width of my screen, so i can see my playlist in a column below the video. Could be that a problem? I also use to have the window minimized, so I don't know if the extension should be working or not ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Worked as intended.
Really a great add on!! Everyone saying that it does not work is wrong...All you need to do is just have on tab left open in your active window. If you have another window open, as soon as you minimize, it will pause. Thanks for stopping such an annoying thing made by Google :)
Just doesn't work, even with the window open :/
best program
Funcionar creo que funciona, pero creo que depende de la pestaña en la que estés. Por ejemplo, en una misma ventana puedo tener 2 pestañas, 1 de youtube, y otra pues de una página web. Si estás en la de la página web, a mi por ejemplo se me paró el vídeo. Sin embargo, si estás en la pestaña de youtube, no se para. Recomendación: Hacer una ventana solo para youtube. I think it works, but I think it depends on the tab you're in. For example, in the same window I can have 2 tabs, 1 of youtube, and again on a web page. If you are on the web page, the vídeo may stop. However, if it's on the youtube tab, it doesn't stop. Recommendation: Make a window only for youtube.
Though it doesn't seem to work in full screen or theatre mode, it is nonetheless working to prevent this annoying problem. The momentary pause, with little white box popping up, does seem to happen with every song though, whereas before it happened about every 3 songs. Why does youtube do this by the way. I even read that getting their premium service does not stop it from happening. Why would they want to annoy their users so much?
Best solution for this useless "feature".
Does NOT work. Dont waste your time with this spamware. Instead use microsoft edge or mozilla browsers for watching youtube without pause.
