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.

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.

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.

sadly it does not work for me. its not removing the &list=WL from the URL. I use vivaldi though, so its barely a mainstream browser, even if it technically supports webstore extensions
