Overview

Block videos from playing.

Video Blocker stops annoying autoplay videos before they start. * Prevents all web videos from automatically playing on pages. * Allows you to whitelist specific domains like youtube.com where you want videos to play. * Allows you to enable a single video by clicking on the video directly. * If you find a video this extension is not currently blocking, I'd love to hear about it. Hit me up on twitter @benplowman. New in version 1.2 (October 2022): * Fixed a bug where several languages were poorly translated. * Migrated to the latest version of the Chrome Extensions framework (manifest v3) New in version 1.1: * Fixed a bug where some videos were no longer being blocked. New in version 1.0: * Reduce CPU usage in pages with lots of content updates. * Support for adding domains with multiple parts like "stan.com.au" to the allow list. Before you could only add the end of the domain, "com.au", to the allow list, which didn't make much sense. * Removed unused notifications permission.

Works as advertised. Only extension I have found so far that blocks all videos. Thank you!

Tested with Epic Store web and it doesn't work - autoplay worked as (they) intended, but with a weird banner over it. Uninstalled.

Works. But would love an option for what the display of blocked videos looks like. The current implementation I find quite ugly. Especially when a site might have a full screen background video. If i could customise something, or choose a solid colour, i'd give a 5 star rating.
