Overview

Product summary

Review the store description, core capabilities, and common use cases.

This extension stops YouTube HTML5 and Flash players from auto-buffering videos. Using this add-on (extension) you can save bandwidth and also prevent YouTube on multiple tabs from buffering media simultaneously.

You will have to click on the player to allow buffering of the media files. Once a player is buffered, it can play multiple tracks. There is no need to activate the player on each new track (so you can easily watch playlists for instance).

Features:

1. Stop auto-playing on "/watch?v=" pages

2. Stop auto-playing on "/user/" pages

3. Stop auto-playing on "/channel/" pages

AI product read

Prevents YouTube HTML5 and Flash players from automatically buffering (auto-playing) videos when pages load.

YouTube videos auto-play and auto-buffer when you open a page, consuming bandwidth and causing multiple tabs to buffer simultaneously. This extension stops that behavior so users only buffer/play video when they explicitly click to do so.

Install extension → extension automatically injects content script into YouTube pages → when a YouTube page loads, the video player is stopped/paused instead of auto-buffering → user clicks on the player when ready to watch → optionally configure behavior via options page (playlist handling, visibility-based play/pause, pause vs stop method, thumbnail resolution).

Target users: YouTube users who want to save bandwidth / Users with multiple YouTube tabs open simultaneously / Users who prefer manual control over video playback / Users on limited or metered internet connections

Extension is small (8 text files) with simple logic, making full analysis straightforward.
No network requests to external APIs beyond YouTube thumbnail images (i.ytimg.com), so no external service dependency analysis needed.
The 'pro' keyword match in verified_contents.json was a false positive (metadata file, not paid feature reference).

Monetization

No paid features detected

No payment processing, no premium tier gating, no feature restrictions behind paywall. The 'Support Development' button in options page opens a voluntary donation page (homepage_url + '&rd=donate'), which is not a paid feature gate. All settings and functionality are freely available to all users.

Confidence: 95
Payment platform: --
Source: AI / High
Login required: No
Reason: No login, authentication, or account creation code found anywhere in the extension. The extension operates entirely locally on YouTube pages using content scripts and a service worker. No external service authentication is required. No OAuth, no credentials storage, no session management.
