YouTube playlist stops playing in background when one sec extension is enabled in Zen Browser

Hello one sec team,

I'm experiencing a problem with the one sec browser extension in Zen Browser.

What happens:

  • I open YouTube and complete the one sec breathing intervention.

  • I start listening to a YouTube playlist.

  • When YouTube is in the background and the current video finishes, the playlist stops instead of automatically playing the next video.

  • I have to return to YouTube and complete the breathing intervention again.

What I've tested:

  • With one sec enabled, background playlist playback stops.

  • With one sec disabled, background playlist playback works normally.

  • When YouTube stays in the foreground, playlists advance normally.

My settings:

  • Browser: Zen Browser (Firefox-based)

  • Intervention: Enabled

  • Timing: Immediately

  • Duration: 6 seconds

  • Re-intervention and subdomain configuration: Pro-only.

What I'd like:

I want to keep the initial breathing intervention when opening YouTube, but allow automatic playlist transitions to work normally in the background.

Could you investigate whether this is a browser extension bug and whether there is a workaround in the free version?

Thank you!
