Introducing Musical Chairs YouTube Extension

On New Year's day, we had a few games at my house, one of them being Musical Chairs. As our two finalists rounded the chair, waiting for the music to pause, there was a pause. But this was not an intended one. It was due to an internet break. To me, this was the fair pause that they could get. The one nobody saw coming. They decided to continue and have someone pause the music, but someone had to be in another room to make it non-biased.  As a developer who always spot opportunities to automate things and remove human biases and errors, I got this idea of an extension that automates the pausing and make it random, which is fair to all player. All you need to do is install the extension, and you can be using it to automatically pause your music. Unlike other tools out there that achieve the same goal after you upload your music, this extension works on YouTube, exposing you to thousands of billions of videos.  The project is open source and can be accessed here: https://github.com/o
