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

It's not working for me
*****
works good for me.thanks "no buffer"
doesn't work at all
ОК. Стоит в Yandex и Opera без допов, работает в отличие копаний настроек браузеров.
It works everytime for me but the comments section doesn't load until I start playing the video, it's a major annoyance.
Only works for any Youtube Video that's after the first Youtube Video you play in the same tab. In other words. If you open up a Youtube Video in a background tab, then focus on that background tab, that Youtube Video will automatically start playing even with this app. But any video you open in that same tab will be stopped from autoplaying. So it works, but it has a flaw that can be irritating for anyone who opens many Youtube Videos in background tabs, and need to look through all the tabs to find the one video you want to see. As all those tabs would autoplay the video before you could pause it and move on to the next tab.
Работает
Работает. Использую совместно со StopFlash.
Didn't work. Youtube videos still buffering/playing automatically
