🐞 Bug Report

Concise Description

Hey,
I would like to report a bug that has been occurring for quite some time. The "Force auto play off" feature is not working as it should. When I enable it, videos on YouTube won’t play at all. When I click the "Play" button, nothing happens. I have turned off all my other extensions, but it didn’t help.

I have already tried resetting the extension settings to default and reinstalling the extension. I am using the Chrome browser. Both the extension and the browser are updated to the latest version. When I logged out of YouTube and logged back in, the problem disappeared. I don't know why. Now I can't upload a file with the occurring error.

Can you fix this?
