Description from store
This extension unloads the YouTube player without affecting the actual page. Removing the player eliminates any network requests to fetch or buffer the video. This is especially useful when you wish to watch the video later without YouTube preloading it and consuming your bandwidth.
Key Features:
1. Disables automatic buffering
2. Halts player-related network activities
3. Unloads the player while keeping the page intact
The extension introduces a new "Stop" button located next to the "Play" button. Click the "Stop" button whenever you want to unload the player.
Additional Notes:
1. This extension exclusively supports the HTML5 player, offering no compatibility with Youtube's old Flash player.
2. Built on manifest v3, this extension adheres to the specified guidelines.
3. It only operates when the "Stop" button is triggered and remains in an idle state at all other times, ensuring no background activities are running.

- Works well ! (Adds 'stop' button to youtube player and when clicked, stops the player from buffering) Though, I liked how it used to show the thumbnail behind the player when stopped, that feature seems to no longer be working.

- Well, despite being updated recently, and me using the latest version of Chrome, this has stopped working. The button is there, and the cursor changes to a pointing hand when I hover over it, but clicking does nothing. I hope it will be fixed soon, or I will have to try and find an alternative, because it's an awesome feature. P.S. I hate that we have to rate these things up front. It should refelct overall experience, not recent. I would normally give it 5 stars, though!

- The button works fine, my issue is that your extension has permission to "Read your browsing history." There is no reason for you to include that if not for selfish reasons. No Thanks!

- Works very well, but when there is a youtube video on another site that is not youtube, it doesn't work. When the video is in the channel results, i.e.those showing what the channel is about are not stopped.
