YouTube Media Controls

Control YouTube player from any tab

Play/pause (MediaPlayPause), go to next (MediaTrackNext), go to previous (MediaTrackPrevious) and mute (Alt + Shift+ M) any active YouTube player (including YouTube Music) from any tab. Also disables the annoying "Video paused, continue playing?" dialog.

Currently does not work on Mac due to keybinding issues.

Extension safety

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 Media Controls requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.
