Works very randomly: Sometimes it works for quite a long time and suddenly the made settings (autoplay of the next video is disabled) are changed again.....not by me but by a ghost maybe???? Not sure if I want to stick with that extension....

ついに登場した、YouTubeで再生リストの自動再生無効化が可能なChrome拡張ソフト！自動再生は、コンテンツの大量消費を強制させられている様な心理的なストレスを感じます。 YouTube上では通常、自動再生は有効と無効を切り替えられるのですが、再生リストでの視聴だけは自動再生を止める事が出来ません。Googleで記事を検索しても、「自動再生が始まる前に一時停止してください」くらいのの情報しか発掘出来ません。そのひと手間にストレスがかかるのだ！【次の動画を今視聴するかどうかは、自分で決めるよ。】決めるっつってんだろオラァ！！！そんなにユーザーの時間を奪いたいのか貴殿は！！奪いたいんだろうなぁ！！！でも私は、コンテンツの体験は、自主的に！！自分で制御したいのだよ！！！くっ・・・なにか良いChrome拡張は無いのか！！！あった。遂に見つけた、再生リストの自動再生無効化。「このソフトの使い方が分からず、道半ばでアンインストールするユーザーは少ないだろう。」何故なら、インストールした瞬間から無効化済みだからな。最初っから全ての設定において、自動再生が無効化されている。UIの質も一定水準を満たしていて、無駄のなく美しい画面だ。最高だ。君を寄付させてくれ。おぉっ、なんと！！だが日本からはPAYPAL支払いが出来ない様だ・・・くそっ、何故だ！！300円か500円は払うぞ！！・・・かくして、僕はYouTubeの視聴体験を少しだけ、向上する事に成功した。長年付き纏われていたストレスからの解放を、遂に達成したのだ。これからは一部の場面においてより自主的に、動画視聴を選択する事が可能となったのだ。あぁ、何と言う事だ。有難き幸せ・・・ありがとう、ありがとう・・・。

Thanks for this! Youtube is disabling auto-play if you listen to a channel too much. You can auto-play other channels you don't frequent, but listen to one too much and they'll disable it. This extension fixes the problem! Thank you. For anyone using this extension you have to open the extension setting and choose what you want it to do.
