How It Works

The extension monitors YouTube pages for the harmful content warning container. When detected, it automatically:

1. Locates the warning message container (#player-error-message-container)
2. Finds the "Continue" button within the container
3. Clicks the button if it's enabled
4. Stops monitoring after successfully clicking (to avoid unnecessary processing)

The extension uses:

• MutationObserver: Watches for DOM changes that might indicate a warning screen appearing
• Interval Check: Periodically checks for the warning screen (every 500ms) as a fallback
• Cleanup: Properly disconnects observers and clears intervals when done or when the page unloads

Permissions

• activeTab: Required to interact with YouTube tabs
• *://*.youtube.com/*: Host permission to run on YouTube pages

Browser Compatibility

• ✅ Chrome (Manifest V3)
