YouTube Previews On Long Click Extension

😌 A less distracting and more enjoyable YouTube browsing experience.


Key Features:
------
🙈 No Unwanted Previews - Stop incessant previews during casual browsing

👀 Preview On Demand - Still watch any preview you want with a \"long click\" on a video

🥷 Never In Your Way - Does not interfere with any other native YouTube features, it's only there when you want it to be


What Else?
------
✅ Zero data collection
✅ No ads or monetization
✅ Minimal Permissions

------

🔧 How To Use:
This extension has three modes:

1️⃣ - Disable Only For Scrolling
Similar to default YouTube. Previews play as normal but only if you purposefully move your mouse to the video. If you just land on a video after scrolling, it will not play.

2️⃣ - Play On Long Click - (Recommended)
Previews don't play on hover, but instead play after a \"long click\" on the thumbnail. Click and hold down briefly (300ms) and the preview will play.

3️⃣ - Completely Disable
Previews never play.
