M D M (ID: 00000017f9d9ebc2) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 05/03/2019 One Youtube video is paused, the other not. One Youtube video is resumed, the other not. That way there never is silence! Unfortunately it does not pause or resume all videos, but it randomly pauses or resumes a selection of videos. And I could not find any logic in it, except that most of the time the last tab (tab at the most right position) will respond. Sorry that I had to rate this extension 1 star.
