| 2024-07-07 |  | | 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. |
| 2023-11-03 |  | | 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. | |

| 2023-04-27 |  | | 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. | |

| 2023-01-04 |  | | 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. | |
