| 2024-09-23 | Vlad | | Amazing!!!!! I had a problem with autoplay on YouTube. Every time I opened or refreshed a tab with a video, it would start playing automatically. Disabling the multimedia autoplay in Edge settings didn't work, but this extension finally fixed the problem. |
| 2024-07-09 | Justin | | Does work with Peacock ... great for not losing where you are if you watch something to fall asleep. |
| 2024-01-11 | Tania | | This is the only thing I could get to work on TikTok to disable autoplay. Does the job well. |
| 2023-11-24 | MepTBblYCypoK | | The expansion was good. Previously, everything was fine, except for conflicts with the VK website, for example. But I solved this problem. But now the function to turn off preloading on YouTube does not work. Yes, the video does not start automatically, but the preview image changes to the player and immediately to a black screen. Looks broken. But it doesn’t interfere with starting viewing. ==== [RU] ==== Расширение хорошее, было. Раньше всё было прекрасно, за исключением конфликтов с сайтом vk например. Но эту проблему я решил. Но теперь не работает функция выключения прелоадинга на ютубе. Да, ролик не стартует автоматически, но картинка превью меняется на проигрыватель и сразу на чёрный экран. Выглядит сломанным. Но не мешает запустить просмотр. |
| 2023-11-19 | Edward | | Used to prevent the video from starting and showed the video thumbnail. No longer does. It still works but pauses the video at 0 seconds at the first frame of it. Not what I added it for. |
| 2023-11-12 | Matthias | | Verhindert Zuverlässig das Abspielen jedes Videos. Sollte sich in "Disable HTML5 Play" umbennen. Wieder etfernt |
| 2023-10-19 | Mary | | Thought it was great, but it's stopping all my external source videos from running without giving me the option to let them |
| 2023-09-27 | Drakulian | | It actually works, even on background tabs. So if you reload all tabs and/or windows, all YouTube videos will NOT autoplay. Noice! |
| 2023-09-09 | Tyrand | | Appears to work pretty well, thank you. |
