The extension is particularly useful for loop playing a single track or managing multiple players. With this extension, you enhance your YouTube experience by keeping autoplay in check.

It doesn't work, unfortunately. The latest version of macOS, the latest version of Chrome. I installed the plugin, but after the video ends, the next one automatically starts playing, meaning nothing has changed in the behavior of the default player.
