Prevents YouTube HTML5 and Flash players from auto-buffering (auto-playing) videos

Image from store YouTube™ No Buffer (Stop Auto-playing)

Description from store This extension stops YouTube HTML5 and Flash players from auto-buffering videos. Using this add-on (extension) you can save bandwidth and also prevent YouTube on multiple tabs from buffering media simultaneously. You will have to click on the player to allow buffering of the media files. Once a player is buffered, it can play multiple tracks. There is no need to activate the player on each new track (so you can easily watch playlists for instance). Features: 1. Stop auto-playing on "/watch?v=" pages 2. Stop auto-playing on "/user/" pages 3. Stop auto-playing on "/channel/" pages 4. Stop auto-playing on embedded YouTube players. 5. Supports YouTube's new Material Design (as of version 0.2.2) Notes: 1. As of version 0.2.4, this extension is compatible with YouTube's material design 2. As of version 0.2.5, this extension is not working on the old non-material design 3. If you would like the extension to not stop buffering when switching back and forth to the mini-player ("i" keyword on YouTube pages), go to the options page and check "Do not stop the player if the player is already playing" option. 4. This extension is compatible with ad-blocker extensions operating on YouTube pages.

(2021-07-03) AnotherLover: Fixing the broken universe one app at a time. THANK YOU!!!
(2021-06-23) Masked Guy: There's still autoplay in playlists.
(2021-04-16) Carlos Vaya: It simply does NOT work! So be careful if using limited data and think you are safer! ...helpful hint! Click pause, then click near end of vid! And read/copy what you need with minimal buffering... but obviously a little data will still be wasted.
(2021-03-02) Roman Radulov: Super!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(2020-11-22) A K.: Great idea, this extension is badly needed, autoplay so often ruins the video experience. When I watch a YouTube video I let it play once through first so it is fully buffered, because my connection isn't great (Australian NBN = rubbish), so otherwise the video will stop repeatedly to buffer while watching... but that's pointless when the video is on a playlist, because it will just continue to the next video, and when I go back to the one I wanted to watch, it will again stop repeatedly to buffer. @#[email protected]%#U. I can't believe Google doesn't have an "auto-play off" setting for playlists. So I got very excited when I saw there was an extension to kill autoplay. Unfortunately it doesn't work, at least in my Chrome browser. Does anyone know if it works in other browsers? If so I might just get rid of Chrome. I just don't want to waste time installing & trying out different browser if it just simply doesn't work on any
(2020-11-10) Bree Vwhyman: works okay........... thanks for the free extension (microsoft edge 87)

(2020-03-30) Dinh Nguyen Mai: very good
(2020-03-30) Ali Saleh: EDIT: Thanks. The new update works great again.
(2020-03-28) Rainbow Warrior Princess: ***FIXED!*** Good, but when the video played for some seconds and the page is reloaded, the video plays for 1 second before stopping the video. ***FIXED!*** Pause option addionally added instead of only stopping feature and pauses/stops even playlists!
(2020-03-27) Ali Saleh: It was working fine for a long time but has recently stopped working :(
(2020-03-26) JoinviLLeiro /SC: a extensão é muito boa, mas ele parou de funcionar ,eu uso ela a mais de 3 anos ,mais o video da erro se a extensão estiver ativada , por favor arrumem isso , pois não tem mais nenhum outra extensão que faça o que a extensão de vocês faz, e eu costumo abrir varias abas , e com essa extensão fica muito mais fácil .
(2020-03-25) earbance: Videos not playing for several days with this extension enabled. Otherwise a good extension.
(2020-03-24) Srikanth .R: I have been using it for over a year with no complaints but for the last couple of days none of the youtube videos plays with it is enabled. It shows the message as"An error occurred. Please try again later " Pls sort out the problem.
(2020-03-13) Serwusiak: Jakiś dziwny syf - nie polecam
(2020-03-04) Gabor R: It works as of today with current version of Chrome. Finally videos do not pre-buffer and play when you activate the tab.
(2020-02-03) Majengo Ss Jamal: I have been using this app for so long, it works properly. No comment for me.
(2019-12-02) Алексей Мишарин: У меня в Google Chrome BETA из-под Windows 10 плагин препятствует кэшированию в начале, при первом открытии видеоролика на YouTube. После первого просмотра снова работает как обычно, то есть, как было ДО установки плагина.
(2019-10-24) Ali Saleh: Works great on the latest version of Chromium. Thank you!
(2019-10-16) Kevin Brockman: I wanted something to stop autoplay on youtube but not stop playlists as an alternative to magic actions. This did that.
(2019-08-31) Selin Arkas: Thank You.
(2019-08-01) Steffon: Does not work. It has one job that it fails to accomplish. Uninstalled just like the other one. 8/1/19
(2019-06-12) EMRAH: Güzel eklenti, tamda aradığım eklenti diyebilirim. Lakin ilk videolarda :" Tarayıcı şuanda mevcut video biçimlerinin hiçbirini tanımıyor." diye uyarı veriyor. Sayfayı yenilemediğin sürece video başlamıyor. Bir sonraki videoda bunu yapmıyor ama youtube sekmentini kapatıp tekrar açınca yine yeni videoda yapıyor. Bu düzeltilirse güzel olur. its very good addition but it has a problem. when you open the youtubes video first time you see your browser doesnt recognize any video format so you need to push f5 than you can see video. i hope you fix this problem.
(2019-05-25) Reza C: wont work
(2019-04-30) You: Works !
(2019-02-28) kcp cpg: It works!! Only after the installation you need to configure the settings ... Thanks:)
(2019-02-24) ArturoGalindoRMX: Excelente, es el único que detiene automáticamente.
(2019-02-02) Алексей Соловьёв: ОК. Стоит в Yandex и Opera без допов, работает в отличие копаний настроек браузеров.
(2019-01-13) Phuong Tran: Work well. Stop at the start
(2018-11-25) Animation Stories BD: very bad work. I mean not working

(2018-06-19) iMax: 잘 작동합니다.
(2018-06-04) Ernesto: I can click on videos and read the comment sections and the video won't get marked as "watched". It works perfect.
(2018-05-28) Kweetkait: Does not work. This extension attempted to drop to the lowest resolutions possible but still buffers while videos playing.
(2018-05-26) Zhmaev22: Невероятно, но это расширение действительно работает, единственное из множества мной перепробованных! Спасибо автору)
(2018-05-18) Z: Does not work properly. Options menu jumps like a Texas horse. There is no a chance to select something and save. Verdict is a raw , alpha version, without Quality Assurance verification.
(2018-05-11) Roli Rol: működik!
(2018-04-25) Ehsan Ehsan: Works like a charm Although sometimes in slow connections it won't work but if you have a speedy connection it works just fine.
(2018-04-15) Витёк: У меня работает.
(2018-04-09) Marius Jooste: It certainly does not stop videos from auto-playing on my Apple Mac. Is that not the point?
