About YouTube Auto-Pause Bypass
YouTube Auto-Pause Bypass is a userscript for youtube.com that prevents the "Video paused. Continue watching?" dialog from pausing videos playing in the background. It uses background detection methods rather than simulated clicks, and is described as working regardless of the YouTube language setting.
Installation requires a userscript manager extension such as Tampermonkey, Greasemonkey or Violentmonkey. It includes a toggle button beside the YouTube logo to allow dialogs to appear without disabling the script. Handling of the pause issue on YouTube Music is unconfirmed.
