This extension was made by MrQuackDuck, not me (Aljo). The reason it's under my name is because I bought a chrome developer account, and offered to publish the extension while giving full credit to the original developer.

After a recent update, YouTube is now having an issue with pressing Spacebar to play/pause the video after Alt+Tab and in cases when you're unfocused from the videoplayer. This browser extension is here to fix this.

No more frustrated hammering of the spacebar — it now pauses most of the time. I'll change to 5 stars if it can also be made to pause instead of mute when the volume is in focus.
