Annoying auto-playing videos that slow down web browsing, consume bandwidth/data, and drain battery life
1. Extension installs and auto-pauses are enabled by default. 2. User browses websites normally. 3. Content script detects video elements via MutationObserver and pauses auto-playing videos. 4. Background script intercepts video media requests and blocks them. 5. A 'Paused by McAfee Web Boost' banner appears over stopped videos. 6. User can click banner to play specific videos. 7. Popup shows stats (videos stopped, data saved) and allows managing whitelist. 8. User can whitelist specific sites or toggle the feature globally.

- 目标用户
- General web users who want faster browsing and reduced data consumption / Users on limited data plans or metered connections / Users annoyed by auto-playing videos on news/content sites / Battery-conscious laptop/mobile users
- Code is minified/webpack-bundled making exact line-by-line analysis harder, but core logic is clearly visible
- Could not verify if McAfee's external security products (WebAdvisor) affect login status via externally_connectable, though no login flow is apparent

No premium, subscription, payment, billing, upgrade, or purchase references found in the codebase. The extension is completely free with all features available. 'License' hits refer to the EULA (End User License Agreement), not paid licensing. 'Pro' keyword hits are false positives from Czech locale where 'pro' means 'for'.

- The extension has no login, account creation, or authentication functionality. All data is stored locally using chrome.storage.local. The extension works immediately after installation without requiring any credentials. The only external communication is EULA acceptance tracking to home.mcafee.com, which does not require user login.
Whenever Chrome is updated the Auto-Play setting resets to OFF! So annoying to have to turn the setting back on!!!!
It does not stop videos on LinkedIn for some reason.
It does nothing apart from collecting and harvesting user data
with only few exception it pause all ads videos as soon as it load, I do not keep my laptop mute but also I do not like unwanted sound so it helps a lot.
I'm still using it, and it's working fine on most sites EXCEPT for Fox News! Their annoying videos on top of articles play every single time. Also, I don't like the notification that McAfee blocked a video from playing every time it does. Please get rid of that and I will change my rating.
A must for browsing the internet; it does exactly what it says: it stops videos from auto-playing and helps keep your internet browsing fast.
As of May 2022, this extension isn't working on Chrome or Edge. Videos are playing as normal. This is a shame up until recently it worked pretty well, sometimes only needed a refresh to prevent videos playing. Please fix it!

This thing keeps adding itself to my extension whenever added a new profile on Chrome for whatever reason
