There is the extension Enhancer for Youtube

I remember I was using YouTube Plus many years ago. And some day developer decided to include (optionally iirc) crypto miner into it. I still have in my bookmarks his next extension - Iridium. Never tried it though.

@luetage it's in the pipeline for 3 years now with 186 votes, it seems Google really don't want anyone to block their $$$ maker by holding Chromium project ransom...

Guys, please vote for these requests if u haven't done so already:

1. Option to Disable Autoload and Autoplay of HTML5 Videos

2. Stop Video/Audio = stop buffering

Chrome had an autoplay-policy flag some time ago. But it was (!) removed. They surely don't want users to block autoplay videos with ads. Not surprising.

Not every Cat helps you to block AutoPlay physically, you can ask the IT Support.

[Stardust]

@Zalex108 Yep, looks like a Google IT Support (YouTube department)

Just contacted once, by mail, couldn't see any extrange interaction.

But Opera used to use s, does V use them too?

Or just ?

[Stardust]

@Zalex108 Oh, I registered to the old opera forum too late. And I have never had a problem with Opera[Presto]

[Zalex108]

@Stardust

Here neither,
At least now exists Vivaldi.

Remembering Opera and the Click to Run just tried a Presto AC - Original should be in another Disk - and can't load Youtube, Vimeo and other video sites :|

Will see when will be implemented

I just checked Firefox, the option is still there, and it works!

So Firefox is the only browser right now that has built-in option to disable autoplay.

But this annoying button you have to disable manually every time.

I use "AutoplayStopper" extension. It stops videos YouTube videos from automatically playing.

[Zalex108]

ImprovedTube works fine even on Playlists, not sure on those Embed with AutoPlay.

The one as example doesn't start in a Clean Profile either so I can't check.

But isn't just loaded the Vid image?
With Click2Load you can't see the Thumb which is useful in some situations others than Spam on News.
