## Description

YouTube automatically scrolls down in fullscreen mode if you click below the progress bar, as though you clicked the "scroll for details" button. This makes it difficult to refocus on a fullscreen YouTube window without pausing. This plugin provides a simple fix by blocking the automatic scroll when you click at the bottom.

Designed to be minimally intrusive, the plugin still allows the "scroll for details" button and manual scrolling to function. If you want to disable all movement in fullscreen mode entirely, other plugins offer that functionality.
