Unlike simplistic extensions that like videos immediately upon opening the page, YouTube Autopilot analyzes genuine video playback: tracking continuous viewing intervals, playback rate (1x–2x), pauses, tab activity, and timeline seeking behavior. • ⏱ Smart Real Watch Tracking: Our interval-merging algorithm counts only actual seconds spent watching. If you pause, switch to another application, or mute a background tab, fake viewing time is never counted. • ⚡ Fast-Forward & Seek Modes (Auto-Like at 90%): Prefer watching videos in chunks (intro → highlights → conclusion)? Enable timeline seek mode: as soon as the video scrubber crosses 90%, your Auto-Like rule triggers seamlessly. • 🎯 No-Code Rule Engine: Build powerful "IF → WHEN → THEN" automations tailored to your habits: - Auto-like when watch percentage reaches 90% - Automatically remove videos from "Watch Later" once finished - Filter by video duration, specific channel names, or exclude YouTube Shorts - Configurable pre-action delay to prevent premature execution • 📌 Native In-Player Overlay: A sleek, unobtrusive pill widget integrated right inside YouTube's control bar next to the time display. Shows your current watch percentage, exact time spent, and next scheduled action. Hovering reveals a modern progress card with real-time stats. • 🛡 Flexible Operation Modes: - Automatic Mode: Silent, seamless background execution when conditions are met. - Approval Mode: Displays a clean interactive prompt ("Allow" / "Skip") on the video before performing any action. • 📊 Built-in Analytics Dashboard: A dedicated full-screen management interface: lifetime statistics, complete watch history with search, execution logs, and one-click automation presets.
  1. Real Watch Time (Strict): Counts only uninterrupted playback seconds. Perfect for viewers who want actions to trigger strictly after genuine, attentive watching.
  2. Timeline Position (Seek-Friendly): Tracks the maximum point reached on the timeline. Auto-likes trigger even if you skip through the video to the 90% mark.
  3. Hybrid Mode (Recommended): Triggers when the timeline reaches 90%, provided you have genuinely watched at least 15% (or 30 seconds) of the video, protecting against accidental clicks.
• Local Storage Only: All watch progress, stats, and custom rules reside entirely on your device in browser IndexedDB. • Zero Telemetry: No tracking pixels, no third-party analytics, and zero external network calls. • No Credentials Needed: Works purely through client-side DOM interaction without requiring your Google or YouTube account credentials. • Mozilla AMO Compliant: Completely free of unsafe innerHTML assignments, built strictly according to web security standards. • storage: Saves your preferences, rules, and local viewing history. • activeTab: Inspects playback status and manages the player widget. • https://*.youtube.com/*: Required to detect playback events and execute your configured actions (Like, Save, Remove). ## Rankings - #103,895 — Overall - #85 — ai copilot - #114 — copilot - #215 — topic ## Permissions and access ### Permissions - `storage` - `activeTab` - `https://*.youtube.com/*` ### Content script matches - `*.youtube.com` ## Safety - **Risk impact:** Moderate risk impact - **Risk likelihood:** High risk likelihood ### Analysis details - Request access to the following domains: youtube.com - This extension was recently updated in the past month.
