Very simple extension that simply does what it needs to and stops auto-play next on the brave browser. Recently it stopped working though, sadly. Likely due to some changes on youtube's side. Hopefully there's a chance for a future tweak.

No longer works, at least for the default Watch Later playlist. Will update this review if I'm told it has been fixed.
