About NoPause for YouTube

NoPause for YouTube keeps your videos playing by automatically dismissing the "Video paused. Continue watching?" and "Are you still watching?" prompts. No more interruptions when you leave a long video or music mix running. • Auto-clicks the Continue/Yes button when the pause dialog appears • Works on youtube.com and m.youtube.com • Optional: tries to keep the page "visible" so YouTube may not pause when you minimize the browser • If the dialog appears while the tab is in the background, a background check runs and resumes playback (including calling video.play() when needed) • Simple on/off toggle in the popup; setting is saved and synced across your Chrome profile • Light and dark theme support with a manual theme option Use the popup to turn the feature on or off at any time. No account or sign-in required.
