    Background playback stopped working on my android devices in firefox and even brave browser a few days ago. I read this us due to changes by youtube to enforce premium only for paid users. I tried " video background play fix" after someone recommended and it did work some of the time. But so far this has worked the best. can you also m,aybe add a feature to block the "are you still listening" box? thanks

    Thank you for the kind review! Yes, as noted in the update on our listing page, YouTube has recently become more aggressive about blocking background playback on both Android and desktop. The add-on already handles most of the new techniques YouTube is using, so it's great to hear it's working well for you.

    Regarding your feature request, we're currently testing version 0.5.0. In addition to including additional protections against YouTube's recent changes, it also adds the feature you requested: a new "Stop Video Pause" feature that automatically dismisses the "Still watching?" and "Video paused. Continue watching?" prompts on YouTube and YouTube Music. We expect to release it soon, so please watch for the update. Thanks again for the feedback!

    This is the only addon I've found that actually works on desktop. I use Second Sidebar for Firefox (check GitHub), and I pin YouTube Music as a web panel. I'm normally forced to use desktop view which sucks because of the small space. But if I use mobile view, playback always stops. This addon worked like magic and YT Music hasn't stopped once since I installed it.

    Also seems to work well on mobile too, but I mainly use it on desktop. Thank you to the developer!
