Simply does not work. Activating a tab starts playing the video. Always. Which means that the video can start playing when you don't want it to.

Almost exactly what I want, except it doesn't work for videos you open in new tabs. Switching to those tabs will play the videos immediately, even if you don't have the resume functionality enabled.

After looking at dozens of other garbage extensions, I finally found one that actually works. Thanks a lot!
