Works as expected. Nice work.

Simply does not work. Activating a tab starts playing the video. Always. Which means that the video can start playing when you don't want it to.

It works most of the times, but it has some bugs which make every-day use annoying.

Doesn't work. Temporary solution (copy and paste for each youtube visit)
```
function toggleYoutubeVideo(value = null)
const videoElements = document.querySelectorAll("video"); // contains false positives too

if (!videoElements?.length) throw new Error("No video elements found");

const mainVideoElement = Array.from(videoElements).find((videoElement) =
videoElement.src.includes("blob:https")
);

if (!mainVideoElement) throw new Error("Main video not found");

switch (value)
case "play":
mainVideoElement.play();
break;
case "pause":
mainVideoElement.pause();
break;

default:
mainVideoElement.getAttribute("paused")
? mainVideoElement.play()
: mainVideoElement.pause();
break;



window.addEventListener("focus", function ()
// document.title = "focused";
toggleYoutubeVideo("play");
);

window.addEventListener("blur", function ()
// document.title = "not focused";
toggleYoutubeVideo("pause");
);
```
