No AutoPlay: Prevent Autoplay of YouTube Videos on Chrome
No AutoPlay is a free Chrome extension developed by jccovey. It falls under the category of Browsers and specifically the subcategory of Add-ons & Tools. This extension is designed to pause any HTML5 videos on YouTube that would autoplay, allowing you to choose when to play the video instead of it automatically starting when you open a browser tab.
With No AutoPlay, you have control over when you want to watch a YouTube video. Instead of being bombarded with autoplaying videos as soon as you land on a YouTube page, this extension will pause the video upon page load. You can then choose to play the video when you are ready to watch it.
It is important to note that No AutoPlay is limited to YouTube videos only. While it won't prevent HTML5 videos on other websites from autoplaying, it effectively addresses the autoplay issue specifically on YouTube.
Overall, No AutoPlay is a useful Chrome extension for those who prefer to have control over their video watching experience on YouTube. With its simple functionality, it provides a convenient way to prevent autoplay and watch videos at your own pace.
