Stop Autoplay for Youtube™

Download extension

Eases your YouTube™ experience through stopping the autoplay. This version doesn't automatically start Videos.If you have ever opened a bunch of videos in the background, you will know how annoying it is when they all start playing automatically.

With this extension you will never have to worry about videos auto playing in the background. Plus, they will auto buffer, so no annoying load-spinner.


*Note*: This does not work with playlists, as YouTube™ itself offers an option to disable auto playing the next video for those!


Difference to "Stop Autoplay for Youtube™ Extended":
This extension here does not play videos automatically.
However, it doesn't stop auto play when you have the tab in foreground (so it doesn't annoy when watching a few videos in a row).
