NoPause Playback
Keep videos playing when you switch tabs
NoPause Playback helps prevent websites from automatically pausing the main video while you switch tabs, minimize the browser, move the pointer away, use Picture-in-Picture, change window focus, or move the browser to another monitor. It identifies the primary player and respects pauses you make yourself.
Optional per-site autoplay and page display controls—including infinite scroll and merging 2–5 consecutive pages—make browsing smoother on compatible websites. Premium users can enable Auto Clear Browsing History to help protect their privacy by removing existing and future history for managed websites and their subdomains. When a feature cannot be applied safely, NoPause leaves the website's original behavior unchanged.
Main Features
Smart Anti-Pause Protection
Keeps the main webpage video playing through tab switches, window minimization, pointer exit, Picture-in-Picture, and focus changes—while respecting pauses you make yourself.
Per-Site Autoplay
Automatically starts the main video when a managed page loads. If Chrome blocks autoplay with sound, NoPause waits for a trusted user action instead of forcing mute.
Infinite Scroll & Page Display
Browse more smoothly with infinite scroll, the website default, or 2–5 merged source pages when compatible same-origin pagination is available.
Managed Website Controls
Runs only on websites you add. Configure autoplay and page display settings per site, and open managed domains directly from the popup.
Auto Clear Browsing History
Helps protect your privacy by clearing existing and future Chrome history for managed domains and subdomains after a Premium user grants the optional history permission.
13 Interface Languages
Use the fully localized NoPause interface in any of the 13 supported languages.

Before you get started
Which video pauses does NoPause help prevent?
NoPause targets website-triggered pauses when you switch tabs, minimize the browser or change focus on managed sites. It respects pauses you make yourself; it does not promise to fix every playback or buffering problem.
Does NoPause run on every website automatically?
No. Add the websites you want to manage, then configure their autoplay and page display settings. When a feature cannot be applied safely, NoPause leaves the original website behavior unchanged.
