    Don't install this spamware. Many extensions open some kind of changelog when they've updated. This absolute garbage instead opens a tab with some other product to advertise to you. In my case, it just opened Chrome Webstore to an extension called 'Magnum: Sidebar with Gmail and Google Calendar'. Edit: I just uninstalled the extension and, again, it opened the same extension in Chrome Webstore.

    works but also advertises another service to you, would highly not recommend because of the ads

    Trash. Instead of stopping auto pause it instead likes to play 3 seconds of each video in my playlists and then skip through each video. Avoid.
