YouTube is a leading video streaming service but also comes with its share of annoyances, especially when users want to search for, watch, and download videos from YouTube but encounter the sudden switch to a new interface, causing the currently playing video to disappear. This issue occurs not only on YouTube for desktop but also on YouTube for iPhone or YouTube for Android.
To overcome the problem of the currently playing video being stopped during search, you can refer to the Chrome extension called QueueTube.
How to search on YouTube without interrupting the video
To fix the issue of search on YouTube causing the currently playing video to stop, simply download the QueueTube extension on the Chrome web browser.
Instead of search results appearing in a new tab and stopping the currently playing video, search results will be displayed on the right side, containing videos related to the currently playing video. If you like those videos, you can easily queue them up in a playlist on YouTube.
You click on the red Add to playlist

As you know, YouTube is a leading global entertainment video service, where users often access to watch videos, download videos from YouTube, or even download music from YouTube without needing support software. The feature to download music from YouTube without software essentially involves using web services that support extracting music from YouTube, allowing you to extract music, mp3 files from YouTube videos.
