en Finally! This is the sixth one I've tried and it's been the only one that works. For reference, I'm using Chrome Version 126.0.6478.127 on a Windows 11 run bespoke PC.

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.

This extension works for one of my newspaper sites that always autoplays videos. Some of the others didn't work. I can't say if this works for all sites, but it works for one that other/different blockers didn't work for.

I've only used it on Yahoo, but it works perfectly. No autoplay, but if I want to play the vid, I can, unlike some others I've tried.
