Description from store
Video Blocker stops annoying autoplay videos before they start.
* Prevents all web videos from automatically playing on pages.
* Allows you to whitelist specific domains like youtube.com where you want videos to play.
* Allows you to enable a single video by clicking on the video directly.
* If you find a video this extension is not currently blocking, I'd love to hear about it. Hit me up on twitter @benplowman.
New in version 1.2 (October 2022):
* Fixed a bug where several languages were poorly translated.
* Migrated to the latest version of the Chrome Extensions framework (manifest v3)
New in version 1.1:
* Fixed a bug where some videos were no longer being blocked.
New in version 1.0:
* Reduce CPU usage in pages with lots of content updates.
* Support for adding domains with multiple parts like "stan.com.au" to the allow list. Before you could only add the end of the domain, "com.au", to the allow list, which didn't make much sense.
* Removed unused notifications permission.
Latest reviews
- (2024-07-13) J J: July 13, 2024: It's no longer working on any other sites. This extension hasn't been updated in more than 2 years. Newer: I loved this extension but now most videos play uninterrupted to the point that it is useless and now I will remove it. This extension was great for years but no more. the dailymail.co.uk the videos play whether it's on or not. Other sites it doesn't work either. As time passes it seems more and more sites play their video with this blocker enabled. I have to find something else
- (2023-11-03) Suzanne V (SIOUXSPUR): It works beautifully! I'm tired of all these videos! I use it on Chrome
- (2023-10-10) Randy Henry: I installed this to specifically block Amazon's "influencer" annoying videos. It didn't work. I was still annoyed. Removed. But thanks for trying.
- (2023-08-13) Tyrand: It doesn't work everywhere. Example: https://www.ign.com/articles/video-game-release-dates-ps4-ps5-xbox-one-series-x-nintendo-switch
- (2023-06-14) B: It works.
- (2023-03-21) Drew A: Perfect! So glad this exists.
- (2023-02-05) Frank O Clark: I am an old geek (80) with a "hunter's brain," I cannot not look at something moving, my attention is immediately diverted. That means most websites just drive me nuts with all the video (I am looking at YOU Google, on my Pixel newsfeed!). This was what I wanted. It stops all of the nonsense, and provides a simple link to actually play the video if wanted. "It just works!" Hats off to the developer(s). Highly recommended.
- (2023-01-06) Komar: отлично работает, убрало море крайне навязчивых видеореклам так что очень доволен, однозначно 10 из 10
- (2022-12-19) Pat MySecret: It does work, unlike many others, however you get their imagery and sometimes a transparent image of what it blocked. I find it kind of cute, but that wasn't what I was going for. "Nomovdo" is an effective extension.
- (2022-09-25) Александр Чеплаков: автоматический запуск видео блокирует, но потом самостоятельно по клику на экране видео часто больше не запускается . И ещё зачем затенять видео своим фильтром ? идиотизм честно говоря , короче работает коряво , пришлось отключить.
- (2022-09-19) Artur N: Raz Blokuje raz nie blokuje rozszerzenie jest nie dopracowane , największy problem dodatek ma z filmami reklamowymi np. na Allegro przepuszcza filmy , daje 3 gwiazdki
- (2022-09-04) Альфия Иткулова: тоже непонятно как работает, ничего не смогла заблокировать после установки
- (2022-08-25) Julien Lecroq: Encore des difficultés à bloquer les vidéos sur le site jeuxvideo.com Je dois rafraîchir la page une demi-douzaine de fois avant que cette extension ne fasse son taf ! Ne fonctionne pas correctement sur Epic Game Store ni sur Yahoo mails.
- (2022-07-06) admin HmpSoft: Covers the video with a slate but actually still playing in the background. haha.
- (2022-06-16) Kazzy Crimson: Works well on most sites, but the site I specifically need this to work on, it doesn't work - https://www.independent.co.uk/
- (2022-06-13) Kanety Devisson: Не работает
- (2022-06-03) Anastezia: Непонятно как оно работает. Добавить ничего нельзя. Висит плашка "блокировка видео включена" и все. По факту - все как было так и осталось. Бесполезный мусор.
- (2022-05-18) Alexey GranDoxin: Не работает. Ни в контекстном меню не появилось никаких пунктов, ни возможности в настройках приложения добавить название канала, домен или что то еще..
- (2022-04-25) Michael Davison: Simply doesn't work, at all. Are you sure this is supposed to work with chrome? If it can't stop ABC new's ubiquitous, irritating, news clips it is not really a video blocker.
- (2022-03-26) Andre Dimangadap: still works as intended....install if you like
- (2022-03-25) Miri F: Didn't work. I read Newsweek stories via MSN on my PC and they have a video that pops up in the lower right corner of every page you navigate to. It is so annoying, and is the main reason I tried this extension. So sad. :-(
- (2022-02-26) Skoval: Работает.
- (2022-02-02) Alexandr Danilenko: не блокирует видео
- (2022-01-20) femmeke femsen: This extension is great. It blocks everything. Finally peace on the internet. However, it replaces every video with a pretty ugly image of tv-screens. And video's are everywhere on the internet so my internet turned pretty ghastly looking. It would be great when the developer would choose for example a simple grey overlay instead of the colored tv's.
- (2022-01-10) Кирилл Лячин: Непонятно, где именно что блокируется. Нет никаких настроек в плагине, никакие кнопки не появляются. Ну и, как следствие, ничего не блокируется. Тогда зачем это "творение" вообще нужно?
- (2022-01-09) Daisy Phoxtrot: It worked well at first but after a bit it just started blocking...everything except the home page.
- (2021-12-27) Věra Slováková: Naprosto dokonalé rozšíření. Funguje přesně jak jsem od něj očekávala.
- (2021-12-16) Mike Davis: Didn't work for me in 2021 on Yahoo News.
- (2021-12-07) Kevin Lang: Used to be pretty good. In some cases, was hard to find where to click to allow the video where a site had a big video background, but that was only minor. However, recently, many of the videos on CNN.com autoplay despite this extension being active. Pretty obnoxious when you aren't expecting video and audio to kick in and you get blasted by both. Behavior seems to have changed in the past few days.
- (2021-11-21) Joseph Tendrich: Stopped nothing. Went to NFL.com and all the videos continued to autoplay in spite of enabling Video Blocker for that site.
- (2021-11-09) Ulrike B.: Funktioniert bei mir
- (2021-10-24) Jared Wynn: It stopped working and I can't figure out why, or how to refresh it. It was great while it lasted. I'm not removing it yet, hoping there'll be an update or fix or patch or something coming soon.
- (2021-10-23) Randy Laskody: Working well so far. I hate having video forced on me especially with sound, especially the stupid pop up videos that jump off the main screen and float down the side. Thanks for this.
- (2021-08-20) Shankar Swamy: Very useful and so far has worked great. Only not so unpleasant is the background image it puts up on blocked videos. The image too rich in color & distracting. I wish there was an option to change the background image or at least an option to make it lighter or darker. Very useful extension.
- (2021-06-16) Denis Mordovin: На сегодняшний день, единственное расширение, которое выполняет свою функцию, все перепробовал.
- (2021-05-12) Reza Javadi: Instagram has a problem downloading videos and increasing internet usage
- (2021-05-07) R R: Does what it says.
- (2021-03-09) Gubby Malsch: So viele Blocker ausprobiert und endlich einen gefunden der wirklich überall funzt. Super!
- (2021-01-30) Phil Mann: Slowed down some sites, including Reddit- entering text became jerky and laggy. Disabling this plugin fixed the problem. Overall made the browser feel unstable and less responsive. Unfortunate because the advertised features work fine.
- (2021-01-13) F. G.: Fonctionne numéro un; pour en avoir essayé plusieurs qui bloquent sur un site mais ne bloquent pas sur un autre donc obligé d'en activer deux pour faire le travaille et certaines bloquent des entrevues audio, celle ci ne bloque que les vidéos et sur tous mes sites que j'utilise. La seule critique j'aimerais que l'on voit mois les icônes qui recouvrent les vidéos, question d'esthétique ou bien les mettre en gris pâle ? Mais un gros merci au développeur.
- (2020-11-19) Josh Allen-Craig: WORKS ON THE NEW FACEBOOK "WATCH" TAB!!!!
- (2020-11-13) Lucian Andries: It blocks very well, no issue there. BUT, it slows down Chrome like hell....... For so long I thought it was just Chrome, when in fact it was this extension...... I had to uninstall it. But if you fix it, I'll be glad to install it again. So please fix the issue! PS: Remove the rainbow icon image overlay from videos, it's ugly. Only keep the top one that says "blocked". That one is enough.
- (2020-09-03) Adrian Bee: this actually works, fantastic, and even better now I can use it on Microsoft edge chromium, if the overlay on the video could be optionable it would be perfect
- (2020-08-22) Brantlee Spakes Richter: I've been running this for about a year and totally 5-star happy with it, but then facebook pushed their new layout and it stopped working on facebook. It still blocks the videos; you just can't release the block when you actually do want to watch one. Better than not stopping them, but the whole idea is to be able to choose which ones I want to watch and when, rather than having the platform decide. If it has to be all-or-nothing, I'll stick with nothing, but I'm hoping the next version has a fix for whatever shenanigans facebook is pulling.
- (2020-08-12) ابو جابر ر: حاولت اجربة على اليوتيوب لكن ماعمل معي
- (2020-08-10) Vaibhav Rawat: it works
- (2020-07-30) Roger Edrinn: Works 99% of the time, been using for 2-years.
- (2020-07-17) fergal: AWESOME A++ no longer wasting my Broadband Data on junk Videos
- (2020-07-16) DVKidsGame: Нифига не блокирует. Нажимаешь на play, видео загружается как ни в чем не бывало. Название не соответствует функциям!
- (2020-07-12) Seychellian: Works on YouTube for Chrome in July 2020
