en Tested with Epic Store web and it doesn't work - autoplay worked as (they) intended, but with a weird banner over it. Uninstalled.

en Works. But would love an option for what the display of blocked videos looks like. The current implementation I find quite ugly. Especially when a site might have a full screen background video. If i could customise something, or choose a solid colour, i'd give a 5 star rating.

cs Na základě doporučení jsem si stáhla, chtěla jsem kvůli blokování určitých výrazů na YouTube. Bohužel jsem nikde v nastavení nenašla možnost blokovat na základě klíčových slov, takže je pro mě rozšíření k ničemu. Nedá se tam vlastně nic pořádně nastavit, takže nevím, k čemu je to dobré.

en July 13, 2024: It's no longer working on any other sites. This extension hasn't been updated in more than 2 years. Newer: I loved this extension but now most videos play uninterrupted to the point that it is useless and now I will remove it. This extension was great for years but no more. the dailymail.co.uk the videos play whether it's on or not. Other sites it doesn't work either. As time passes it seems more and more sites play their video with this blocker enabled. I have to find something else
