Disables autoplay of all HTML5 audio and video
THIS EXTENSION IS CURRENTLY UNMAINTAINED; Please see GitHub for the latest news: https://github.com/Eloston/disable-html5-autoplay/blob/master/README.md

======================

Disable HTML5 Autoplay disables HTML5 audio and video autoplaying.

In addition to removing the HTML autoplay attribute from media elements, Disable HTML5 Autoplay also hooks into the media's JavaScript API. This allows for restrictions on media control and simulation of expected behavior to ensure that all pages behave normally.

VA BENE! SOLAMENTE CHE MANCANO ALCUNE OPZIONI IMPORTANTI, AD ESEMPIO: QUELLO DI DISATTIVARE ANCHE IL CARICAMENTO DEI VIDEO.

Brendan Dillon 2021-10-11

Sweet, sweet silence... Works on Youtube and annoying news channel links. Do you hear that sound? Me neither, because the video didn't load! Woohoo!

D Furter 2021-05-04

I like this Extension but please give us an option to disable it on certain websites. It messes around with soundcloud.com

Stuart Nisbett 2021-03-19

It works for me, but it also seems to stop my video and audio working on Google and Skype meetings which was an issue until I worked out this was the reason.

Sagar Bhatt 2021-02-09

It didn't disable the videos that autoplay and instead stopped other videos from playing when the play button was clicked.

Bethany Figueroa 2021-01-26

Works for me. I just installed it on my laptop and it stopped the ad on Tom's Guide from playing. Thank you Dov Pins!

lve chen 2021-01-26

京东,淘宝,百度百科,百度经验上可用。

Дмитрий 2021-01-20

на данный момент работает в опера и блокирует автозупуск плеера на страницах, отличное расширение. Поддерживает такие популярные сайты как youtube, twitch

Wells Blanchard 2021-01-15

Works on CNN for me (after I enable the extension, it is disabled by default). I tested a page without the extension turned on, it autoplayed the video. I then tested with the extension turned on, and the video displayed, looked like it was about to start, but then never started. Thank you!

Jay Cee 2021-01-14

another one that doesnt work. only if i had coding skills or whatever skills to remove autoplay

shozu vovu 2021-01-10

This does a good job of preventing autoplay on YouTube, but sometimes I can't get videos to play at all unless I disable this extension and then reload the videos. It's annoying, and it makes it pointless to have this extension.

Google User 2021-01-06

Not 100% effective but the best of the worst. It sucks on Facebook.

steve wixom 2021-01-02

Seems to be working great so far. Finally found something to stop all those autoplay popups on news sites.

Sai Y 2020-12-25

not working

Joern E. 2020-12-10

Works excellent as expected! Videos are loaded on Youtube and other media in stop mode. Many thanks to the developers. Chrome Version 87.0.4280.88 (Offizieller Build) (64-Bit), XUbuntu 20.04

Chaos Gemini 2020-12-04

For those who are having trouble, it seems to be installed with the default "Disable Nothing" turned on. You will need to go click on the extension and change it to "Disable AutoPlay". Then I think you should have better experience? I will keep playing with it myself but that is what I noticed.

kadeuce amare 2020-11-24

It's okay but doesn't always work

Perminder Singh 2020-11-13

This is working for me. Video begins but stops at once. I checked it on CNN.

George M. 2020-11-12

It works! No more annoying videos autoplaying in the background!

Владимир Гаврилов 2020-10-28

Thanks for so useful app. Everything works fine, using Brave Browser. Videos are loaded but aren't being played automatically!

Big Boi 2020-10-07

Does not work for me.

Вадим Терещенко 2020-10-05

Идеально! Блокирует всю нечисть.

Jon Emerson 2020-09-23

Installed it, but videos on CNN still autoplay. The extension doesn't even seem to be aware that a video is even playing, it says 0 videos found.

Renee Downing 2020-09-17

Doesn't work.

James Jameson 2020-08-10

It used to work great. I think websites are able work around plug-ins like these.

Артём Яковлев 2020-07-28

Работает в Яндексе, а то достало автовоспроизведение от киопоиска.

Corey Ashford 2020-06-28

It works, but it keeps chrome running even after closing every chrome window. The only way to get rid of them is to kill them off manually, or reopen chrome, disable this extension, and then close chrome again. Very annoying bug.

Joe Chasko 2020-06-27

No good for HBO. It disables all video, not just autoplay. No message.

Mike Butrovich 2020-04-15

Does not work! It worked with CNN video, but would not stop videos from Fox or NY Post from playing automatically. This was after I added specific sites to the list as well as selecting the overriding ALL SITES option.

Marmooz Marmooz 2020-03-27

yeah, it stops playing the videos but still misses the video buffering :(

Luke Boothe 2020-03-16

Used for pinterest. Works great 👍

Кирилл Негодов 2020-03-14

Иногда может блочить некоторые функции, вроде предпросмотра видео, но зато весь аутоплей отключает на ура.

Darklocq of Highrock 2020-03-09

No longer works. I'm not sure any of them do, given the reviews I'm seeing across all such extensions.

Elliott Blocha 2020-03-07

This extension is doing some strange spyware-looking activity in the background. Looking in wireshark, it keeps pinging a server every few seconds. I can't see what data is being sent to this server, because it's encrypted, and I don't have the private key. None of my other extensions have this kind of activity. I know it's this extension because the request header from my computer has this extension labelled as the source.

Victoria Emem 2020-02-12

Didn't work for me. I mainly got it to use on Yahoo news pages and it didn't work for that. The other autoplay blocker works so I'm uninstalling this one

Rainbow Warrior Princess 2020-02-06

Does not work when a video is started from the video sidebar on youtube.

Neal Martin 2020-02-01

Works fine on the main I site I use.

Rachel Truman 2020-01-25

Got this forthose annoying autoplay pins on Pinterest. Works perfectly there. Thank you!

Jeff May 2020-01-22

Worked okay for awhile. Had it installed on my work computer. But now it's causing problems with my computer's Symantec Endpoint Protection software and causing a "Web attack" warning to pop up once per minute. Really annoying, so I removed it.

Joe Poniatowski 2020-01-16

This didn't work consistently, and it recently started triggering 'malicious domain attack' notifications from my security software. Removed.

Mike Wagner 2020-01-16

Works perfectly! Thanks!

mathis P 2020-01-12

works perfectly on youtube

mahesh nazhiyath 2020-01-09

doesn't work at all on current versions of google chrome, chromium, comodo dragon etc etc. cannot make the option disable autoplay stick. it resets to block nothing automatically regardless of what one does. a total and absurd failure!

Tom Sollas 2020-01-05

This extension is a fake copy of https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/disable-html5-autoplay/efdhoaajjjgckpbkoglidkeendpkolai that's doing some pretty shady things. It's getting flagged by Symantec Endpoint Protection with malicious inbound connection attempts. AVOID AT ALL COSTS, REPORT IT!

Colleen Travis 2019-10-23

Works well, but why does it add a process that runs automatically even when the browser is not open? That is scary.

Carlos Antonio Zapata Azkona 2019-10-20

Genial. No podía abrir videos de Dailymotion y con ella me deja.

Maciej Orzechowski 2019-10-19

git majonez

John McSpiffy 2019-10-18

Doesn't seem to do anything. And it appears to be an ILLEGAL unauthorized fork of the Disable HTML5 Autoplay extension. ( as noted here: https://github.com/Eloston/disable-html5-autoplay/issues/223 )

J J 2019-09-28

Another extension that doesn't do what it says. Ban this developer!!!

Anne Li 2019-09-05

I don't hate the extension, odd way to rate it but sadly the extension does not work. Not anymore anyway. I used to be able to stop autoplay but now it seems they have removed this option too. Anything to force you have videos playing in the background. Drives me completely nuts how they just force things on people now. It's not an update it is simply invasive and forceful. I have been googling options to disable it but have not come up with anything. So developer I don't hate your app but I simply cannot make videos stop and this no longer helps - at all. Sorry. If anyone knows or has figured out how to do it (until Chrome again updates of course with its new BS) please let me know what to disable. I do not have "autoplay" option or it is hidden.
