Unfortunately this has stopped working for me as of a few months ago. The "Continue watching" button still persists to plague my being able to listen to my music while cooking dinner without having to constantly go back to my room to click the damn button. I hate that it even interrupts me in the middle of a video. Like wtf youtube, what is the damn point of this annoying ass button we all want removed? Oh I'm using Opera on my PC, so I'm using the native website for YouTube (versus like YouTube Music or the Android vers of Opera)
