License: MIT Chrome Web Store GitHub release Build Status

Ever been watching a YouTube video and that annoying "Continue watching?" popup keeps interrupting you? AutoContinue fixes that by automatically clicking the continue button so you can watch without interruptions.

What it does

  • Automatically clicks "Continue watching?" on YouTube so you don't have to
  • Works on both YouTube and YouTube Music
  • You can adjust how long it waits before clicking (idle timeout)
  • Shows how many times it's helped you
  • Dark mode for the extension interface
  • Available in multiple languages
  • Doesn't collect any of your data - everything stays on your computer

Getting started

Install it

Chrome Web Store (Coming Soon): The extension is currently under review by Google and will be available in the Chrome Web Store soon.

Manual install (Recommended for now):

  1. Download the latest release from GitHub Releases
  2. Unzip the downloaded file
  3. Open Chrome and go to chrome://extensions/
  4. Turn on "Developer mode" (toggle in the top right corner)
  5. Click "Load unpacked" and select the unzipped folder
  6. The extension will be installed and ready to use!

How to use it

Once installed, it just works automatically. But you can also:

  • Click the extension icon to see how many times it's helped you
  • Right-click the icon and pick "Options" to change settings like idle timeout and extension theme
