| 2025-03-02 |  | | en | doesn't work |
| 2025-02-26 |  | | en | It worked great, but in the last couple of weeks something has happened that prevents me from playing a youtube video if it's been more than 5 seconds since i opened the tab. The solution to this is to update the page when i want to watch, and then click play within 2-5 seconds, really annoying. |
| 2025-02-19 |  | | en | There used to be button somewhere, in chrome itself or youtube setting where you could turn on and off autoplay like this. But it's gone now. Couldn't find it. But I did find this extension thankfully! In the past I didn't like it when the next video wouldn't automatically play when I opened it in a new tab so I turned it off. But now I've noticed that youtube starts playing the video before the whole site has loaded, which causes it to stutter constantly in the beginning. And that was getting on my nerves. So this extension is working like a charm, doing exactly what I needed! Thank you. |
