Video Blocker stops annoying autoplay videos before they start.
* Prevents all web videos from automatically playing on pages.
* Allows you to whitelist specific domains like youtube.com where you want videos to play.
* Allows you to enable a single video by clicking on the video directly.
* If you find a video this extension is not currently blocking, I'd love to hear about it. Hit me up on twitter @benplowman.

Finally a video-blocking extension that actually works! I wasn't happy when Firefox and Chrome pulled back and decided to only allow blocking of umuted videos instead of all of them everywhere. I've tried everything on the Chrome store that says it does this and this extension's the only one that always works, or at least works everywhere I've tested. One feature I would like to see is the ability to view and edit the entire whitelist at once, like through a setting page or something, but I'm giving 5 stars anyway because of how much this has improved my quality of life.
is it actually going to save my internet data?(bandwidth) or just hiding the video playback?
Fantastic! Does exactly what it says on the tin (generically, of course). Thanks for this, Ben.
Didnt work to block videos on you tube.
It is working for me to block the video panels (upper right corner) on Yahoo's home page. Constant streams of people talking at me even if muted were getting really annoying and now only still ads pop up, which I believe is fair.
It's only day one but it seems to work fine.10/10
Свою функцию выполняет !
Did not work at all for the sites I did not want to block.
Works well all the time, stops all those annoying & intrusive video. Advertisement nowadays just can't stay a bit silent, it's like always shouting loud next to your ears and waving hands in front of your eyeballs always. Thanks! good work!
I love this extension! It has completely stopped videos autoplaying on Fox News, CNN and other websites! Your mileage may vary but Kudos to Ben Plowman the Developer
