Chrome (v56+) has a new FaceDetector API which basically lets you detect faces in images easily, so what if we could pause Youtube when you look away or go for a sandwich 🥪?
Download the Zip from this release, unzip it and load it as an unpacked extension in Chrome.

🙀 I don’t trust my webcam and I have it covered, see this more as an experiment of Chromes new technology, than a product you'd use every day.

🏴 To get the extension to work you’ll need to enable Chrome Experimental Features here:
chrome://flags#enable-experimental-web-platform-features -
💡If you’re in a dark setting it will probably be a bit buggy, as FaceDetector API is still not great in bad light.
- Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/Hemmingsson/Face-Pause - Run
npm install - Run
npm run build
- Open Chrome browser and navigate to chrome://extensions
