User reviews
I absolutely love this extension. Nothing annoyed me more than being unable to pause a YouTube video for at least 5 seconds, the video playing automatically, even if there was no visuals, all because the platform is so unoptimized. This completely fixed that problem! The one thing that would make it perfect is if k / spacebar also worked to resume the video after the autopause.
