The best! It just blows me away it's no longer supported and it'll be removed by Google next month.

Zum jetzigen Zeitpunkt das einzige Add-On welches WIRKLICH funktioniert und erfolgreich alle Videos anhält (bzw. gar nicht erst starten lässt). Mit einem Klick auf das entsprechende Video geht's dann los. So soll es sein. Ich hoffe das es zeitnah eine Weiterentwicklung geben wird, und man es in Zukunft auch in modernen Versionen von Chrome nutzen kann. Hier und da gibt es auch heute schon diverse Bugs (Magenta TV funktioniert mit aktiviertem Plugin zb gar nicht), aber vielleicht ändert sich das ja in Zukunft. Denn gute Alternativen gibt es zum jetzigen Zeitpunkt schlichtweg nicht.
