One of the few extensions of this kind which actually does what it advertises well. I just hope it can and will be updated to Manifest V3...

Great app. Does it's job. We shouldn't need an app to stop videos from playing but Youtube does what it wants and doesn't listen to users. Google stop the "best practices" BS. We need a way to stop videos from automatically playing. Until then we will always want and need this app and the like. Don't like it STOP THE AUTO-PLAY

A great extension that stops this annoying auto-play out of nowhere if one of tabs has a video. Dear @Google, if you don't like this extension since according to you it's not up to your "best practices", then give an alternative way to stop auto-play instead of bullying extensions that fix your lacking in proper feature set (which by the way other browsers provide, spoiler alert, even those based on the chromium project).
