YouTube Popup Tamer is a Chrome extension that works to eliminate potential interruptions during YouTube video viewing. It operates through two modes - blocking or clicking pop-ups and video ads. The extension works on a variety of elements including specific ads, sign-in prompts, and age confirmation requests. Functionality varies by browser, with complete interruption-avoidance available on Firefox only. The extension also works in synergy with Adblock Plus, effortlessly removing the leftover ads, and will remain free forever.

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:
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"?
Before it worked great, but for some unknown reason it prevented watched videos from appearing in my history. It's not disabled/paused since on mobile and other devices without this extension the history works as intended.
Also I wish there was an option to block the pop-ups without showing a tiny pop-up on it's own. While it is much less annoying than the original pop-ups, I got this extension to block pop-ups, not have new ones in it's place. It also made things like deleting comments just happen when you click delete button (no confirmation as it's a pop-up).
