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.

Works very well, but when there is a youtube video on another site that is not youtube, it doesn't work. When the video is in the channel results, i.e.those showing what the channel is about are not stopped.
it doesn't work
It just reloads the page when I hit the stop button.
