My main issue is space is what I use to pause youtube and it scrolls down when I do that. I got this becasue I wanted to stop the anoying space bar scrolling behaviour and this was suposed to allow that but it failed. I tried setting space bar to do nothing and after that failed, I tried setting it to scroll to top of page (which would have worked but not ideal) but even that failed (thus the 1 star). I have found a way to do what I wanted using a different extension called tweaks for youtube (linked below). Install that and in the options set the keybind for pause to space. https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/tweaks-for-youtube/ogkoifddpkoabehfemkolflcjhklmkge
