update check causes youtube tabs to unsuspend/resume playing

• Extension version: 7.1.6
• Browser name & version: Chromium v80.0.3987.163 (Official Build) Arch Linux (64-bit)
• Operating system & version: Arch Linux 5.5.13-arch2-1 Update popup.css #1 SMP PREEMPT

I realize v7.1.6 is old, but since the check-for-update code rarely returns (and will rarely return) 'true', wanted to document this behavior for new release test cycles.

Youtube videos that I had paused, in tabs that had been open for months, all started playing simultaneously once the recent release was posted - and would continue to unpause every few hours (presumably on each update check). (rather annoying in the wee hours of the morning :) An option to disable update checks (not in 7.1.6) would have been useful.

For those who are not aware, there is great concern that this extension may now be malicious in nature.
