User reviews
You have to close all Chrome windows and then start up Chrome again fresh for this extension to activate. Unfortunately, it also takes a second for it to stop the autoplay when a new tab/window is opened or refreshed. This should be improved because it defeats the whole purpose of the extension. Sometimes, however, it does not stop the playing at all and the video will just play completely if you click on the tab without even clicking on the video. The inconsistency is problematic. Forget Autoplay Stopper. We need an Autoplay PREVENTER.
