It looks like youtube doesn't do that pause overlay at the moment. I tried just now in Chrome and Firefox with extensions disabled, and nothing got in the way of the paused video.
I used to have
.ytp-pause-overlay
in my ublock-origin filters, but it appears it's no longer needed.
- TonyTrapp 5y agoThey still show the player controls as an overlay the whole time as the video is paused. For me, turning the player controls from a bar below the video into an overlay that dynamically comes and goes is the defining moment when YouTube became unusable. It's simply impossible to read slides in some videos because you'd have to pause them to read all of it, but then the bottom part of the slide becomes unreadable. How was anyone able to arrive at the conclusion that this would be a smart thing to do for a video player?
- bittercynic 5y agoYa, I see what you mean. www.youtube.com##.ytp-chrome-bottom blocks all that stuff, but then you lose access to things like choosing quality and turning subtitles on and off.
