doćmo (ID: 0000005dd921a7ad) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 08/31/2022 This Exstension lets you "Hide" the video playback, not make it not load which means it still hogs your CPU power and data transfer unfortunately.

Seiko Fanster (ID: 00000012bc19ccd0) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 08/04/2018 It does not remove the video stream, it only hides it, thus not decreasing the overall bandwidth usage.
