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.
2023-04-12 Sergio So far it has been great everywhere, but today I tried to play Spotify, and it showed an indicator that the music was playing. However, there was no sound. After I disabled this addon, the sound came back. Dear developer, please fix this. Please, drop me a line after this here in the reply to this review, and I will edit my review.
