Latest reviews
- (2025-09-05) Rick Holmes: It doesn't really work well. It would stop autoplay on a few sites, then I realized when I went to pause a video the volume icon showed the video was muted even though sound played, I hit the volume icon to see if it would mute but I had to hit it again to mute. Not the best but not the worst, I didn't notice any sites that it broke or make functions unusable but it doesn't have the functionality I hoped
- (2025-09-03) Jordan: I tried this on Youtube but it wont stop autoplays, it just plays by itself so idk how it works on all websites when it wont stop on youtube. Maybe other sites it might work i guess
- (2025-08-23) Josh Baer: So far so good. Works on the sites I frequent.
- (2025-08-22) Google User: Can't blame the developer. There are only certain amount of filters they can add to the extension in MV3. This is a bad extension format. For now, switch to Firefox assuming you can find a comparable extension. The truth is you probably won't and MV3 might affect FF too in the future. Your best bet is to use an old fork of Chrome or a Chromium based browser.
