So far, I'm pleased. My only desire is that the video Pause until I click on the video itself, not just go to the tab that it's on. It's not uncommon for me to open several tabs in a window. I skip around between tabs, not sure what I'll watch first. I don't understand why they start playing just because I switch to the tab. Once I start it playing, I'll typically work on other things - and wish for it to keep playing. I'm usually working with a 2-3 monitor setup, and several windows. Especially as the sound volume can be so very disparate between videos it can be jarring when browsing around to have a video just pipe up like that. Still - this is almot exactly what I hoped for. What we used to have. I hope you can adapt your fine program with an option for all tabs to start in the "paused" state, until the video is clicked upon. THANK YOU
Such a useful extension (and it's open source). Thank you!
Didn't know I needed this extension, found it accidentally. Works very well, highly recommended.
Если перейти в другую программу, то да, видео поставится на паузу, но через некоторое время оно автоматически включится. Это очень раздражает(
如果已经安装了其他的暂停自动播放插件 当这个插件开始运行时, 会干扰其他同类插件的运行 具体表现是,视频会自动播放几秒, 之后再暂停 少数情况下, 会导致整个视频没法默认暂停,直接播放到底
Works great after restarting the browser.
Doesn't work Doesn't do a thing A pity as since Youtube deliberately made all of their videos auto-play and disabled the auto-pause functionality, Youtube has made innumerable websites intensely irritating. They must have done this so their damn ads would play automatically. Youtube then parasitically sucks the revenue off every site that use. Youtube are utter bastards for doing this to the population of the world. Please keep trying. My guess is that extensions like this are going to need constant updating as YouTube are bastards. They are likely changing their code so that extension like constantly fail. YouTube are bastards.
Hay Man, This is'nt working for me. i tried on Crome (working) & Brave (not working), BTW I use Brave.
best extension ever this is something i alsways looking for
It works good enough, but if you already have a video paused and then click away from it, it will actually resume playback in the background. That is a bit annoying because sometimes I do manually pause the video
