YouTube™ No Buffer - Stop Auto-playing

It didn't get it working and buffering stills on and the video keeps stopping.

Excellent. Doesn't prevent buffer like I hoped, but does stop videos from playing every time they try.

good

Thanks for this, I've been looking for an extension for Autoplay to stop, but none worked until I found this. It works 100% for me

I can now have less headaches with this.

The extension used to block the video from playing automatically when opening a video. Now it is opening an web page something like this: webextension.org (creator of the extension) when the extension is updated. Wish the creator stopped that. Uninstalled it, installed an tab auto closer: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/tabs-auto-close/mbodbfopnnihkmkhcojmieknngpcalhf, and added it to my list.

Was good but the recent black-screen problem is a big issue. hope it gets fixed as soon as possible.

Stopped working just recently :(

It still works on Chrome, but recently every video now starts with a black screen instead of a paused thumbnail and play button. Clicking the black screen starts playing the video normally, so the thumbnail and play button are still there, you just can't see them anymore. Please fix!

Doesn't work at all as of August 13 2023. Opera browser (chromium-based; manifest v2). I wish there were a way to upload logs, used extensions, and settings as part of a review. Are there any known incompatibilities? I'm not using any VPN or proxy, but I am using multiple ad blockers on YouTube (one for video ads and one for the rest).
