Ah yes, because what I want when I tell my computer to stop playing audio and video is for YouTube to play some audio and video of some random thing I didn’t ask for at like 3x the volume of the video I just paused. Thanks google. Such an innovative company!
It wouldn't be that bad if it played muted. Then again I haven't watched ads in a long time
If it takes over the video it would be. I pause YT videos all the time to read something that didn't stay on screen long enough.
Yup. Same here. Anyway, Tubular is a nice app.
Oh yeah that too. It’s bad enough when YT does the thing where it pulls up suggested videos when you pause.
