## Description

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.
