| 2024-01-09 |  | | en | Thanks for this, I've been looking for an extension for Autoplay to stop, but none worked until I found this. It works 100% for me |
| 2023-12-29 |  | | en | I can now have less headaches with this. |
| 2023-11-22 |  | | en | The extension used to block the video from playing automatically when opening a video. Now it is opening an web page something like this: webextension.org (creator of the extension) when the extension is updated. Wish the creator stopped that. Uninstalled it, installed an tab auto closer: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/tabs-auto-close/mbodbfopnnihkmkhcojmieknngpcalhf, and added it to my list. |
| 2022-01-29 |  | | en | Starting today 17 Nov. 2023 the video starts in a black screen. EDIT: Thanks for the update! |
