It blocks all popups and video ads before they even show up - you won't even see any pause. If by changes in code or some other reason blocking module fails there is always clicking module.

Sadly Chrome doesn't support blocking module :((( Clicking module still works. Only Firefox users can use YouTube with absolutely no interruptions.

All blocked, unnecessary stuff can take up to 48% of data sent to your browser !!!

I used many extension and they all have some defects, so i wrote one for myself, and i want to share it with you.

Works on any popup (big, small, on left and right ;) ), but in particular:

Sign in to YouTube
Video paused. Continue watching?
Age confirmation
YouTube Music ad

There is no way to allow a popup to show. This disrupts the ability to report a video. I'm fine with a notification, but the notification should have a button to allow the popup to come through. I'm using Brave, a Chrome variant.

When youtube pops up with the "are you still watching message" the popuptamer just, stops the video, has its own different popup that goes away after 5 seconds and then... does not continue the video? I dont get it? This is just a texture pack/reskin for the "are you still watching popup"?
