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).

It does stop auto-play, but breaks many other things so can't recommend.

Still stops autoplaying for me but unfortunately I discovered today that it prevents timestamped videos from starting at their timestamp, instead rewinding to the start. 5-stars incoming when this bug gets fixed!

Another useless, non-working extension. Why does NOTHING work to stop autoplay? This is ridiculous, I can't wait to ditch Chrome and go back to a real browser that doesn't suck gigantic donkey balls

Meh, I guess. Works but the implementation is done in a way that you have to click the play twice, which is the other side of annoying.
