## Description

YouTube NonStop is a Chrome extension designed to remove interruptions caused by YouTube's "Video paused. Continue watching?" confirmation dialog. It automatically clicks the confirmation box, ensuring your music or video keeps playing uninterrupted on both YouTube and YouTube Music. This extension does not prevent the popup from appearing but seamlessly counters it by auto-clicking the confirmation, providing a hassle-free viewing or listening experience.

Additionally, YouTube NonStop supports Media Keys functionality, enhancing user control. For Firefox users, enabling specific browser settings is needed to fully utilize the media keys. The extension is expected to work even in fullscreen or miniplayer modes. It is ideal for users who enjoy continuous playback without manual interruptions, especially during long listening sessions or background video watching.

## Review summary

Feedback is mixed. Many users report the add-on works as intended, preventing YouTube from pausing playback, simple and effective, and it also functions on YouTube Music after following setup instructions. However, reliability is inconsistent: several reviews say it stops working or doesn’t work on certain Firefox versions, including specific builds. Other issues include a persistent YouTube Music overlay message that cannot be hidden and occasional unwanted audio during the are-you-still-listening interruption (instrumental music with chirping birds). Overall, when it works, it’s valued; when not, users want fixes and better version compatibility.
