YouStopper for YouTube™

Prevents YouTube™ videos autoplay

What is YouStopper for YouTube™?
YouStopper for YouTube™ is a handy Chrome extension designed to improve your overall YouTube experience by preventing videos from automatically playing when you open them. This tool does not interfere with ads, thus it's recommended to use it alongside an ad-blocking extension, such as uBlock Origin for a smoother user experience. However, autobuffering in playlists is not halted by this extension. For a deeper insight into the tool's creation, the extension's source is readily accessible on GitHub.
