Don’t Watch Later Extension
A simple Google Chrome extension to disable autoplay for videos from your YouTube Watch Later playlist.
I usually open videos in a new tab from my Watch Later playlist, which automatically has the `list=WL` querystring parameter. I also don’t usually watch videos in the order I added them to my Watch Later playlist. Instead of trying to hack YouTube’s massive amounts of JavaScript, this plugin does exactly what I need.
This extension doesn't track any of your data usage, and is open sourced at https://github.com/shakeelmohamed/dont-watch-later
