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

This implementation worked and does everything it says. I removed it because it is not trusted by Google's internal Enhanced Safe Browsing and I think the author should update the app to the proper security standard.

Does not currently work as it has in the past. One setting DOES work, and that is flipping "pause the player instead of stopping it" to off, however this both messes with video loading and kills the loop setting being on by default on shorts and such, in addition to making the page itself reload like twice when initially tabbing to it.

It's a quintessential addon and I have used it for years, but it has stopped working since the Chrome v100 update. I hope the developer will take notice of it and fix the problem, because the addon is completely useless right now.
