YouTube Tab Switch

Try the extension on the Chrome Store

Description

YouTube Tab Switch is the chrome extension that maintains one, and only one video playback, no matter how many video tabs are open. Pausing a video plays the second-most recently played video, and vice versa.

Analogy

Imagine a switch. A switch is binary: it can either be set to one or the other. Never both; never neither. ON or OFF.

YouTube Tab Switch maintains this analogy by always having one - and only one - video playing. Pausing a video automatically triggers another video to play, creating one constant, uninterrupted flow of video.

Privacy

The app reads the urls of all tabs open on your computer to screen all YouTube related content and appends them to a list to track your videos. YouTube Tab Switch utilizes chrome storage to store your urls, creating a unique database for each user and accessible only to themselves.
