Latest reviews

• (2024-12-05) Tran Hung: it works, but when play the video, we could not block autoplay for that video again and some web, some time it work well, some time it is not able to block autoplay, some time it I can't play the video when I want
• (2024-06-18) Jonathan Cox: This extension works really good, especially considering the fact that I brought it back to Brave, because it has a glitch with its own autoplay feature. Whenever I played a video, it plays 1-2 seconds of it before stopping. But that's nothing this extension can't fix! Don't take my word for it, it's still good!
• (2024-02-26) Yahrite Fohb: Got this to stop annoying gifs on reddit from autoplaying, it doesn't do anything it seems. It does work good on youtube. All my other autoplay scripts/extensions still don't prevent some stuff on youtube from playing for a second before pausing etc. Unfortunately, this extension prevents thumbnail mouseover preview which is quite annoying.
• (2023-11-11) Randy Henry: I installed this to stop the annoying Amazon influencer videos from playing in Brave Browser. So far it's working.
• (2023-11-09) Scott Gronwold: Doesn't work on Chicago Tribune or Yahoo news articles. Assume it doesn't work anywhere.
• (2023-10-26) Harri Mäkinen: Not working on yle.fi news site
• (2023-10-22) Retired Geezer: AutoPlay Stopper's Chrome Extension (Ver1.9.8.1 released Sept in 2023) seems to stop MP4 file blobs from playing..... on most sites. Use AdBlocker Plus extention with this proxy HTML filter ..... and you get Google' YouTube without ads or Autoplay.
• (2023-10-21) Lynn: This list of problem is only for Youtube, since I only used to use it on Youtube. The next short video won't play after using "Don't recommend this channel" button. And you can't make exception for shorts content (since it only care about "youtube.com" and not what's following it: "youtube.com/shorts"). Prevent +18 video (on youtube) to play. Except that, great extension, but for now, i'm not using it, until these are fixed. Thank you.
• (2023-10-20) John Bluegreen (ART JOBS): Does not work.
• (2023-09-28) Yuki Kart: Stuck on other websites (eg. ecosia.org) : “Checking if the site connection is secure”
• (2023-09-19) Andrew Jones: So glad to find this! I have been a very disappointed Peacock TV streaming service customer because of their forced AutoPlay feature with no toggle control to turn it off. Found a few articles suggesting this extension for Chrome but not Brave, however it does work on Brave, my preferred browser. HA HA SCREW YOU PEACOCK TV ! LOL
• (2023-09-18) Ashutosh Goyal: Stopped working on most sites since past few months.
• (2023-09-17) axel coon: breaks CloudFlare human verification, throwing it into infinite loop. disabling this extension and reloading page fixes the problem. would like a fix on that. but will continue using this extension anyway.
• (2023-09-12) Mario Bros: Worked fine previously. Since a period of time it doesn't allow video playing at all. For example on IMDB. When I click a video, i get only a black screen instead of the video playing. I have to disable the extension to be able to watch the video. This is in Chrome and in Edge the same.
• (2023-09-11) Matthew Edmundson: I've used it for a long time. and it mostly still works, but the dropdown menu when you click on it is currently cut off. Edit: This has been fixed.
• (2023-09-06) Web Architect: Works on Twitch & YouTube in Chrome v116. Doesn't break manual playback. Apparently, makes YouTube videos never "remember" last played timestamp. Extension options pop-up is broken, but it's not critical since one can go there through "Manage extensions" and there's nothing much to set-up.
• (2023-09-05) Віталій Рябошапка: Video always starts with sound, ignoring player settings. This behavior only occurs when the addon is active
• (2023-09-04) Mike: Needs update. Dropdown menu is cut off in like 1/5 of it's size. it's not usable untill it's updates
• (2023-08-21) Nikola Tasev: Does not work on Reddit, where I needed it.
• (2023-08-21) Michał Szwejkowski: Works like a charm! Except today on twitter (X). Did Twitter change something? yesterday the plugin was working flawlessly!
• (2023-08-17) Karas: Used to work great, needs an update.
• (2023-07-28) Jeff Carter: Really only needed it for YouTube. I would open content in a new tab and when I switch to it the video would autoplay. Only a nuisance when I inadvertently switch to the tab and it plays before I'm truly ready, or when it's quiet time (home at night or in the office with co-workers) and the audio disruptively blairs. Extension worked as expected when opening videos in new tabs, but in order to make work for existing opened tabs, I had to reload the pages. Had another window of YT vids queued up in multiple tabs, and rather than refreshing each page, as previously described, I closed the entire window, then re-opened closed window and I was pleased that all videos were paused when I switched to each tab. Works for my purposes! Why not 5-stars? There's always room for improvement, and I don't know what that is yet. Besides, I never fall in love with software. If I like it I keep using it. So, 4-stars from me is as good as 100%.
• (2023-07-23) Jeremy Walker: When it works, it's great. Too bad it doesn't work a lot of the time (for instance, many Google Ads aren't stopped).
• (2023-07-18) Jonathan Pineault: Très bonne extension. Par contre, cela cause un problème dans l'affichage vidéo sur Google Meet. Je vous invite à ajouter https://meet.google.com dans les exceptions de l'extension pour éviter les problèmes avec Google Meet ! (ça m'a pris beaucoup de temps à identifier le problème, en espérant que ce soit utile!)
• (2023-07-08) Mike Duguid: Doesn't work on many popular sites
• (2023-07-06) Deja Vu: TikTok vids still play occasinally
• (2023-07-05) Naomi Daniel: I just installed this to stop SharePoint videos from autoplaying when Chrome reopens and restores tabs. I wasn't sure this app would work for that, or if it was just made for ads. It works perfectly! Thank goodness! No more videos all starting at once — it's so embarrassing when that happens in a meeting and you can't find them to make it stop! Thank you!!!!!
• (2023-07-04) Shriram Venugopal: Its good that it helps to reduce autoplay ads. However it doesnt work all the time. Most importantly it breaks video conferencing like Meet and Zoom on Chrome. This plugin needs a way to specify exclusions based on domain
• (2023-07-04) Rex Cope: For a really long time now, it works when you open the page with a video on it in a new tab or reload it, but if you just click normally on a link and enter a page in the same tab that way, the video plays normally.
• (2023-07-03) Peter Wee: Used to be good. Now it hardly ever works. I REALLY HATE the stupid autoplay videos on Yahoo and this extension seemed to work for a while, then it just started failing consistently. Tried updating and uninstall/reinstall to see what happened - then it worked again, but only for a day at most. Next day, same thing again. I am giving up on this app. Good try by the developer and thank you very much. Hope you will do better next time.
• (2023-06-30) James Brooks: Used to work pretty well, but last few months has been inconsistent. Noticed the last update was 7/12/2022, so lack of maintenance is likely culprit. Dev may have given up on this extension.
• (2023-06-26) Greg Bloch: Doesn't stop Fox News autoplay video's
• (2023-06-25) Marko Riikonen: Most excellent. No more jump-scares on CNN.
• (2023-06-22) Lieutenant BaconWaffles: Works sometimes, but not reliable. Youtube keeps breaking these apps monthly.
• (2023-06-18) Jan-Erik Jeromin: funktioniert super in edge, chrome, brave und co. man kann es noch induviduell anpassen für seiten. macht genau das was firefox von haus aus mitbringt
• (2023-06-15) Yves Ligot: Makes some online radioplayers impossible to start, but doesn't work when enabled per-site only.
• (2023-06-14) Michael Arnold: Hardly ever works. Recently switched from Safari which never gave me a problem with this issue, but I may have to go back to it. Very annoying! Other than this, I do like Chrome.
• (2023-06-03) Awesome People: Doesn't work on Reddit.com
• (2023-06-01) Google User: Doesn't work on YouTube.
• (2023-05-11) Corey Allhands: Works for purpose, but breaks other things. I installed this to block autoplay on Instagram. It worked great. Unfortunately, it also breaks the hang up button in the Google Voice web interface, which I use everyday for business, so I can't use it.
• (2023-04-23) Алиса Зазеркальная: Я уже отчаялась, хотела сама сесть написать, но, черт, как не хотелось разбираться с хромовым манифестом. Спасибо огромное! Не удаляет бокс, а именно останавливает автопроигрывание. Для мобильных девайсов с ограниченным траффиком - просто находка. Дома по шнурку неважно сколько сожрет реклама, лишь раздражают эти вечно двигающиеся непонятные совсем никому не нужные рекламные рожи. Я тиктоком и соцсетями не пользуюсь, говорю за просто вебсайты где автоплеит реклама или просто видосы. На них точно работает.
• (2023-04-20) Doug Spicer: Does everything I need it to do. I have never had a video autoplay since installing it, particularly youtube videos. Easy to turn off or on. I much prefer to read the story, rather than view a video with it's built in distraction and the annoyance of others near by.
• (2023-04-06) Jeff Hamer: This extension stops ad autoplay on WireddotCom. I can not stand the ad videos autoplaying while trying to read an article. I understand they need the ad revenue, but I cant enjoy a site if when ads are so distracting. However, this extension made it so I can enjoy a few sites again.
• (2023-04-04) strel ok: it just do what it says
• (2023-04-02) Marceia Egler: Does exactly what I wanted. Stops open YouTube tabs from autoplaying when my browser reloads. Great!
• (2023-03-31) J Joestar: Doesn't work for Dailymotion on Chrome.
• (2023-03-27) Marek Rozemberg: Perfect! Just what I needed for my "open-50-tabs-of-youtube-and-then-sort-them" situation. Thanks for the help.
• (2023-03-18) Terabyte: This extension caused me an infinite loop with sites protected by cloudflare (browser security check message). Once I disabled it the sites started loading properly after a single check screen.
• (2023-03-07) Nhu Mai D: Used for Twitch.tv for the longest time and it worked great. Now that my browser of choice supports blocking autoplay, I don't need the extension anymore. Thank you for the extension!
• (2023-02-25) Al Aly: Наконец-то нашёл. Работает отлично! Не даёт даже прогрузить видео. Уже сразу на стопе страница загружается. Супер!
