Google User (ID: 000000379b8de0b5) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 09/09/2022 Rarely ever works now. Extension has been deprecated AND is now working on fewer sites. Try HTML blocker instead.

Sam Wheat (ID: 000000dcb1c7435d) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 01/25/2022 Doesn't work.

Artus Meyer-Toms (ID: 0000004d57174691) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 01/18/2022 It's so annoying YouTube suddenly decided to re-enable Autoplay in every new tab. This extension is a life saver, and it works (at least for now).

J Bruce Feynman Niccolo P. “Nic” Bentulan (ID: 00000013bb618255) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 04/13/2020 EXCELLENT. BRILLIANT. SIMPLE. It works without doing anything fancy. This is the second extension I've tried for autoplay stopping. To those trying out different extensions for autoplay stopping, look no further.
