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.

I've been looking for something that will block Fox News videos for months now using Chrome. This is the first one that worked.
Google is an obscene criminal entity with state backing. It is not a monopoly, but an actual department of state. It is a cancer that gives ADHD and spoon feeds amphetamines to the youth. Youtube actively causes this extension to be required. And then Google actively promotes it. Its literally advertising Spyware. Google is a criminal entity and would be severely punished if it weren't a core part of the US Government.
I came over to this after the autoplay blocker plugin got nuked by chrome's recent policy change. I only tested this on a few sites and it mostly seems to be working, but sometimes it doesn't. For example on shopify's homepage the large video that plays in the background gets blocked for a split second then it starts playing again. The plugin needs to be way more agressive, like spam .pause() for all video tags every second after page load if needed to make sure videos get blocked. I agree with the others on the text that is being overlaid on the video being way too agressive, it is almost as distracting as having the moving content of a video on a page. Plus on portrait mode videos the text goes out of bounds. I would rather not see anything, just the poster image, or the 1st frame of the video or a dark grey box then to be notified that there's a video that got blocked. I also appreciate hungarian translation, but I would rather go with english text/ui, but I didn't see any options to change that.
Finally, a video blocker for Chrome that actually seems to work in AD 2025 on all Web sites (I hope). The only serious flaw is that every blocked video window is completely obscured by a notice that states "Blocked with Video Blocker". I would much rather see the video "thumbnail" unobscured, so that I can decide if I want to play it without actually playing it. PS Damn Google for its hateful policy that makes this extension necessary!
Seems to work, but I find the image that it superimposes over videos to be annoying. Would be better IMHO if it just put a little icon in a lower corner perhaps?
I've used this extension for years and it still works very well, although sometimes an auto video will load before this is activated so I refresh the page and it blocks it. Overall, it's the best of the stop auto vid extensions out there.
沒用,網頁上的影片還是會自動播放
Only works on initial page load. will not block auto load of following video
It not only stops and blocks it from autoplay it makes it almost impossible to see what the video even is. You get a semi transparent message saying that it is blocked and if you wanted to watch it you had to click on it to watch it. So my problem is that if I can't clearly see the video how am I going to know if I want to click to watch it???
It works well, but I can't figure out how to whitelist specific sites. Edit: I found it. You have to click on the small puzzle piece icon in the top-right corner (next to the URL bar) and then click on the extension's name, not the three dots for the settings.
