Extension summary

'Smart Youtuber' is a simple application which is focused on making your YouTube-ing session more convenient. It does so by automatically pausing/playing videos in other tabs based on your current tab activity.

The following two-step scenario sums up the application behavior --

Step-1: You are playing some video in tab-1. You now open a new tab-2 and play another video. The application will automatically pause the video in tab-1.

Step-2: Next, if you pause the tab-2 video, the application will automatically resume the tab-1 video.

This can extend to any number of tabs or windows.

NOTE: This works only on www.YouTube.com at present. Videos in embedded mode are not supported.

Here is a treat to all Youtube Lovers. I had been waiting for this sort of a thing from a long time. Now I can avoid clicking pause/play every time I want to switch to a different video :)
