Hi!
OK, so there are two issues with youtube and ClearClick warnings: one is that there are false positives on third-party sites, and the other is the user-unfriendly warning.
I've found other threads addressing the false positives, and while I don't see any solution or improvement there, I'd like to address the second issue here.

This is a simple matter of looking at the user's use case: I'm watching a youtube video, in full screen, and suddenly I want to pause it. Why? My phone is ringing, there's someone at the door, someone starts talking to me, the house is on fire, the video plays a loud unpleasant sound for some reason, whatever. I simply want the video to stop. While I appreciate the added safety NoScript gives me in my general browsing of the web, if I want a video stopped, it should stop right away. Instead of stopping however, a ClearClick warning pops up, and I can't stop the video unless I dismiss the warning.

False positives are one thing, but if there is a warning, at least stop the video for me please?

It is not technically possible for NoScript to know that stopping the video is what would happen if the element is clicked. That's why the clickjacking protection is there

In order to do what you're saying, ClearClick warning would have to search for and stop ALL videos on a page regardless of why the warning was triggered. It may be possible with HTML5 videos, but I think it can't be reliably done with Flash or other plugins. So what you are asking is not feasible (yet?), sorry.
