I cannot praise this app enough. It's brilliant.

I searched numerous trying to find out how to stop YouTube videos from Auto-Starting. Not to be confused with Auto-Playing. This app takes care of either. Auto-Play can be disabled within the current version of YouTube. Auto-Start is different. There's no off switch in YouTube or Google Chrome.

If you, like me, do a search in Chrome and right click to open a video in a new tab, that's where Auto-Start becomes an issue. When the tab becomes active by you clicking on it, the video starts playing. That's a problem when I click tabs to multi-select them and move them to a new window. I end up with several videos running and that's super annoying.

This app prevents any YouTube video from buffering, which shuts down Auto-Play and Auto-Start because the video can't play if it's not buffered. It does take a brief moment to buffer when you click play, but it's insignificant.

There's still autoplay in playlists.

It simply does NOT work! So be careful if using limited data and think you are safer! ...helpful hint! Click pause, then click near end of vid! And read/copy what you need with minimal buffering... but obviously a little data will still be wasted.

Great idea, this extension is badly needed, autoplay so often ruins the video experience.

When I watch a YouTube video I let it play once through first so it is fully buffered, because my connection isn't great (Australian NBN = rubbish), so otherwise the video will stop repeatedly to buffer while watching... but that's pointless when the video is on a playlist, because it will just continue to the next video, and when I go back to the one I wanted to watch, it will again stop repeatedly to buffer. @#$@Y%#U. I can't believe Google doesn't have an "auto-play off" setting for playlists.

So I got very excited when I saw there was an extension to kill autoplay.

Unfortunately it doesn't work, at least in my Chrome browser. Does anyone know if it works in other browsers? If so I might just get rid of Chrome. I just don't want to waste time installing & trying out different browser if it just simply doesn't work on any
