The add-on is valued for helping users control and stop YouTube autoplay, especially for playlists, and offers a visible toggle that confirms the setting is off. However, multiple users report it frequently stops working, behaves inconsistently, or fails after YouTube updates. Despite these issues, some users find it better than alternatives and appreciate the convenience it provides when functioning properly.

Extension safety

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.

Autoplay Settings for YouTube requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.
