Funziona benissimo. Potete scaricare anche se avete OPERA. Installi e va. direttamente. se ci sono pagine che dovete aggiungere come eccezione, basta cliccare su DISABLE AUTOPLAY quando cliccato sul pulsantino della estensione e lui aggiunge la pagine alle eccezioni. PERFETTO e indispensabile per la pubblicità invasiva.

It worked great with my Browser at first, but later it had conflicts with my Adblocker. I had gone to options and ticked off the disable preloading. With that it started doing its function again without conflict with the adblock. But it really need to rework the code or add the option to chose which function can go with which site.
