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

I can click on videos and read the comment sections and the video won't get marked as "watched". It works perfect.

Does not work. This extension attempted to drop to the lowest resolutions possible but still buffers while videos playing.

Невероятно, но это расширение действительно работает, единственное из множества мной перепробованных! Спасибо автору)

Does not work properly. Options menu jumps like a Texas horse. There is no a chance to select something and save. Verdict is a raw , alpha version, without Quality Assurance verification.

Works like a charm Although sometimes in slow connections it won't work but if you have a speedy connection it works just fine.

It certainly does not stop videos from auto-playing on my Apple Mac. Is that not the point?
