On Mobile

While there's no way to disable the Are You Still Watching feature via the YouTube App (other than subscribing to YouTube Premium), you can integrate the YouTube Nonstop extension using Kiwi Browser on your Android mobile device.

Here's how:

1. Download Kiwi Browser from the Play store.

1. Tap the three dot menu on the top right. Select Extensions.

1. Tap + (from store).

1. Search YouTube NonStop and download.

You should now be able to watch YouTube videos from the Kiwi Browser without interruption!

On Desktop

The easiest way to decrease interruptions is with the YouTube NonStop extension. This extension automatically clicks the 'Are You Still Watching' popup if the video paused, rather than preventing it outright. This allows you to continue watching or listening with zero interruption.

You can download the browser extension on both Google Chrome and Firefox.

This extension works on both the main YouTube platform and YouTube Music.
