Features & Capabilities

A Firefox extension that prevents YouTube videos from auto-pausing because of adblockers.

Recently, YouTube/Google started a war against adblockers, and on firefox if you got ublock origin or any other adblockers are installed; YouTube videos will pause after a few seconds of playing. This has been a major annoyance for me and many others. This extension is a workaround for this issue. It will automatically resume the video after it pauses.

User Reviews

It worked for a few hours, and then it didn't no longer remove the notification that appears on top of the video.And if it doesn't get removed, the new video doesn't play automatically, so you have to manually click OK. It seems that the only way to bypass YouTube auto pause is to install Brave browser and use a custom filter. It works perfectly.

Is YouTube Auto Pause Preventer Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

YouTube Auto Pause Preventer requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
