Isn't YouTube autoplay the worst? This removes it

Remove YouTube Autoplay - A Simplified Viewer Experience

Remove YouTube Autoplay is a Chrome extension that puts the viewer back in control by disabling the autoplay feature on YouTube. The extension works even if you delete your browser history or enter incognito mode, providing a consistent user experience. However, it does not affect videos that wouldn't usually show the autoplay switch such as playlists, livestreams, etc. Simplify your YouTube experience with Remove YouTube Autoplay.

시크릿 모드에서도 잘 작동합니다만, 자동재생 토글 스위치만 없애버리는 것인지 유튜브 옵션이 초기화되는 시크릿 모드 특성상, 시크릿 모드에서는 무조건 자동재생을 하게 만들어버립니다.
