Example: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=HYxgnrfpK5g

Steps to reproduce:

1. Start playing the video.
2. Switch tabs or open new tab.

What should happen: The video keeps playing.
What actually happens: The video pauses.

Any way to fix this? I've got YouTube Non-Stop installed, but it's apparently not working anymore.

I clicked on the link you provided. Thanks for that. The video started playing and I then opened a new tab. The video kept playing without any interruptions or pauses. And this includes audio.

At the time of this posting I am using 64 bit linux Pale Moon (GTK2) 33.9.1 running in 64 bit MX Linux 25 (Infinity) Xfce with uBlock Origin 1.16.6.1 enabled for YouTube.
