Features & Capabilities

The YouTube™ Stop Button Chrome extension enhances your video streaming experience by adding a convenient stop button to YouTube's HTML5 player. This feature allows you to immediately stop video playback and prevent unwanted buffering, saving bandwidth and reducing background data usage. Ideal for users who want greater control over video loading, the stop button is conveniently placed next to the standard play button. Note that it works exclusively with HTML5 players, not the Flash version.

In addition to stopping video buffering, this extension forms part of a suite of YouTube enhancer tools designed to improve functionality and customization for YouTube viewing.

Is YouTube™ Stop Button Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

YouTube™ Stop Button requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

YouTube™ Stop Button is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
