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.

First I'd like to thank the developer of this extension; You are a saint. As for the review; I find this pairs beautifully with the streamkeys extension, especially when you make use of virtual desktops for listening to music. The main issues with Youtube Nonstop are: 1) It cannot run when the desired Youtube tab is not open in its current window 2) There is a short hitch when the "video paused. continue watching" prompt appears on the page I circumvent the first issue entirely by simply leaving Youtube open in its own window on a separate desktop using Windows 10's built-in virtual desktop functionality. For those wanting to know right away, ⊞ Win + Ctrl + D to add a new desktop and then simply use ⊞ Win + Ctrl + ←/→ to cycle between them. This keeps an open and active Youtube window without using your precious screen real-estate. This may not work for you if you don't primarily use this as a music player. The second issue however is simply something that you need to be willing to bear with, as there's no elegant way to get around this. Still, videos pausing for a split-second as opposed to indefinitely is a massive improvement. EDIT: I mistakenly wrote the wrong shortcut, thanks Itai Assaf Raizman-Greif for the correction.
Really works fine!
Hello! Great addon, was really happy to google up "How to remove the youtube resume thing" and find this extension right away! Um, will this ever work on Android, or is there a way to make it work on Android already?? Good work! Cheers!
Works perfectly and the one who made it is very helpful. Thanks a lot!
Thank you
The tab has to be open for it to work. For someone that listens to music in the background and uses youtube as their primary source of music, it does little to actually benefit me if I have to return to the tab to make it work.
Génial, merci beaucoup pour votre travail, j'ai installé sur 3 mac, cela fonctionne parfaitement. Merci encore
It doesn't work when the tab isn't selected, so when you have multiple tabs open with one of them being youtube, you need to have the youtube tab open. Other than that it can't be just open and minimized. So right now I've put a tab in a seperate window that is extremely small with my playlist playing and it is working fine, but would've been a lot better if it worked without youtube being the main tab or the window with youtube being minimized. I'd rather not waste screen space.
Works like a charm for me! there's a slight pause when youtube tries to pause the video but then this handy little extension resets it & away we go.
