Great app, as long as you don't use YouTube. It makes paused YouTube videos start playing at once, every few minutes, so you have to keep scrambling to stop them over and over. When I get some twenty tabs suddenly start playing, I'm done. I can't keep muting them all. Took me a long time to realise this extension was causing it. Makes the browser completely unusable and will probably get you in trouble where you can't disturb others. And it isn't a one off - it will keep happening regularly - ALL tabs with YouTube videos will keep playing automatically at the same time every few minutes. Turns into a mad house.
