Overview
Watch individual videos that you saved for later without autoplaying all of them.
This browser extension disables the Watch Later autoplay behavior when selecting a video from the Watch Later list. The YouTube Watch Later feature lets users save a video to watch at a later time. When selecting a video from the Watch Later list YouTube will then always autoplay every subsequent video from the list. This happens because YouTube treats the Watch Later list just like any other playlist and there is no way to disable autoplay when viewing videos in a playlist. Once installed, the extension works automatically. When you click on a video on the Watch Later list the extension will remove the playlist parameters from the video URL, allowing you to watch the video or copy the URL without the default autoplaying playlist behavior.

It doesn't work, unfortunately. The latest version of macOS, the latest version of Chrome. I installed the plugin, but after the video ends, the next one automatically starts playing, meaning nothing has changed in the behavior of the default player.

Hi there! The extension doesn't change the behavior of the player. If you end up on a playlist it will autoplay as usual. What the extension does is change the navigation behavior so that you don't end up on a playlist when you click on a video from the Watch Later page. I just checked and it works on the latest macOS and Chrome. Let me know if you have any questions and I'll try to help.

Was working well a few days ago, but stopped working now. I'm not sure if it's a youtube update, or a browser update that did it.

Hey, sorry it stopped working for you. I don't think there have been any recent YouTube updates that would affect it. Can you go to chrome://extensions and ensure that 1) The extension is switched ON and 2) The Site Access is switched ON under the Details page?

Excellent! Now I can continue watching videos without having to load the playlist every time. I don't think they've tested to see how bad it is to watch a video when the playlist has ~1k videos. I'm not sure how many are actually added in the playlist next to the video, but it's enough to freeze the entire page (except the video) so that I can't interact with anything for a couple seconds.
