Given this extension hasn't been updated and is still basically an alpha version, it works really well to stop videos autoplaying. Its biggest problem is that on X (fka Twitter) it makes those videos stutter badly when you do try to play them. I have to turn off YAAB for X videos. Works fine in Arc for macOS.
