YouControl is an extension that enables users to pause or play a video without having to open the Youtube tab. Just click on the extension icon and you will find buttons for these, as well as for subscribing to the channel, liking or disliking a video, playing the video on loop, or adding it to your Watch Later playlist.

It is a useful extension for those working in a shared space such as offices. If you don’t watch others being able to peek into what you’re watching or listening to, this will help you. You no longer have to be wary about others who may be looking every time you access Youtube.
