Unlike the Video Background Play Fix extension, this one also blocks the blur and focus events, not just the Visibility API, both of which the YouTube mobile site now checks to make sure you aren't playing videos in the background.

There was something in the 10/2026 update that broke background play in firefox for me. I tried about:config edits and a couple of other extensions to no avail before finding this one.

It even works in taskbar apps which is what I use for background music while I work.

It cuts last 5 seconds of all videos but thank you very much.

Well-crafted, no fluff

It works, but automatically plays another random video after the previous has ended when playing in the background. I could consistently reproduce the issue. Didn't happen if the browser was in the foreground.

autoplay stuck on

Does what it says, but I notice it also causes autoplay to be stuck on and doesn't allow looping when it's active

Does what it says

Fantastic. Allows you to listen with screen lock on. However, videos are now auto playing despite autoplay being off in YouTube.

Omg finally! I lost my ability to listen to stuff minimised a weeks ago now. This fixes that problem perfectly!✊Thank so much to the Dev! 🙏

Works better than the more famous one

Actually one of the most peak Youtube extensions known to man

Works even better than the basic did before youtube blocked background because no need to press play when changing tab
