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

Give us an option so that we can stop buffering a running video. it initially stops buffer but after I play the video the buffer can't be stopped, I have to close tab to save my data (Band width). My point is, I want to stop buffering and stay in the tab (without closing it)
