Overview
Product summary
Review the store description, core capabilities, and common use cases.
Disable Autoplay for YouTube™ is a lite extension that lets you easily stop/pause YouTube videos from auto-playing.
The toolbar button serves as an ON|OFF switch for this addon (the icon will change color accordingly). The red color shows an active state and the dark grey color shows a disabled state. To work with this addon, please add this addon to your browser and then start browsing YouTube. When the addon is active, videos are stopped automatically from playing when you open one. When videos are stopped, the buffering does not continue. You can change this behavior from the options page and let the videos "pause" instead of "stop". This way, the buffering continues but the video won't play. There is another option on the settings page to play or pause videos when a tab is focused or hidden (unfocused). These two options are not active by default. This addon works for all YouTube videos whether they are embedded or not. However, you can disable this feature from the settings page.
Note 1: when you switch to the miniplayer, the video stops again. So if you want to use the youtube miniplayer feature, please turn off this addon.
Note 2: by default, this addon does not work for youtube shorts and the small video player on the channel page. To enable this feature, please mark option #3 on the settings page.
To report bugs, please fill out the bug report form on the addon's homepage (https://mybrowseraddon.com/disable-autoplay.html).

This does not work. A pity as an extension like this would be great. Better of course would be for Youtube to restore the option to turn off autoplay but they won't for reasons that they refuse to explain. Which suggests the basest motives.
It works well, but it still plays a fraction of a second of the video when buffering is enabled. With it disabled, the video is a black screen instead of showing the video in a paused state. Please fix these 2 problems and then it'll be perfect.
ПАСИБА
Boa, nenhum estava funcionando mesmo, acho que tentei umas 8 extensões. Obrigado!
works for me, but not when playing from a playlist
Кривовато работает
I don't know about other reviewers but as of 22/12/2023, this extension works. It just doesn't have a play button or anything. The video appears blank with no play icon but you click on it once or twice and it plays the video. But that's a minor defect, so I am going to overlook it and give this a 5/5!
Finally found this! <3 Love it. Yeah... it sometimes requires pressing on the video a bunch of times to get it to play, but a small price to pay for it actually doing what I want! Finally!!! Also seemingly sometimes doesn't work with playlists, but I'm happy with it.
Has not work all year. Wish I could give ZERO 000000000 STAR REVIEWS. SKIP.
