Overview
Product summary
Review the store description, core capabilities, and common use cases.
This extension unloads the YouTube player without affecting the actual page. Removing the player eliminates any network requests to fetch or buffer the video. This is especially useful when you wish to watch the video later without YouTube preloading it and consuming your bandwidth.
Key Features:
1. Disables automatic buffering
2. Halts player-related network activities
3. Unloads the player while keeping the page intact
The extension introduces a new "Stop" button located next to the "Play" button. Click the "Stop" button whenever you want to unload the player.

I can't get it to work at all. It does nothing.
I've been using this extension for a long time and it was always great but it has recently stopped working. I hope the developer will fix this soon.
Well, despite being updated recently, and me using the latest version of Chrome, this has stopped working. The button is there, and the cursor changes to a pointing hand when I hover over it, but clicking does nothing. I hope it will be fixed soon, or I will have to try and find an alternative, because it's an awesome feature. P.S. I hate that we have to rate these things up front. It should refelct overall experience, not recent. I would normally give it 5 stars, though!

It should be perfect if have an option to stop video at the end
gracias
The button works fine, my issue is that your extension has permission to "Read your browsing history." There is no reason for you to include that if not for selfish reasons. No Thanks!
It works with lastest Chrome version. Thanks!
Can you adapt it with the classic version of YouTube? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g5nk5FgJn9c
Just now, I notice your Stop Button is GONE from the usual place at Youtube. Go fix it ASAP please. Then I'll change my rating again. Thanks!
