Stop Autoplay for Youtube™

Eases your YouTube™ experience through stopping the autoplay. This version doesn't automatically start Videos.

Stop Autoplay for Youtube™ - Manage YouTube Experience

'Stop Autoplay for Youtube™' is a Chrome extension designed to enhance your YouTube browsing experience. It stops videos from automatically playing, especially when you open several videos at once. This feature reduces unwanted noise and distractions while providing an optimized YouTube experience. However, it does not stop autoplay when you're using the same tab, making it less bothersome while watching multiple videos consecutively. Please note, it doesn't work on playlists as YouTube already provides an option to disable auto-play for the next videos.
