Stop AutoPlay Next for YouTube™ - Control Your Viewing Experience

Stop AutoPlay Next for YouTube™ is a unique Chrome extension that gives the user control over their YouTube viewing experience. It blocks YouTube's mechanism of auto-playing the next suggested video, thereby letting the viewer decide what to watch next. Apart from disabling the autoplay feature, it dims the next suggested item in the side panel and removes the slider button on the player. 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.
