Maybe this is better suited here instead of opening a new issue. Let me know what you think, @jocmp.

If you scroll through an article, then YouTube videos get already played (or paused) while you scroll over them. Here's an example with a random article:

Screenrecorder-2024-12-18-17-38-21-998.online-video-cutter.com.mp4

This can be quite irritating and in my opinion the playback should be harder to trigger, with a tap instead of on scrolling.

Also, thanks a lot for this great app! 🙏

Hey @scharmach thanks for reporting. I was able to reproduce this. It looks like any touch event (including a swipe) will autoplay YouTube. It's possible to avoid if you swipe around the video, but it's not easy. I'll see if I can modify this so that it's not so easy to start the video.

I'm working on a custom overlay that should prevent YouTube's touchy behavior. On click the video will start as expected. Here's a sneak peek!
