Seems to work intermittently. On videos where it doesn't work, I find refreshing engages this extension and it will work, but that kind of defeats the purpose if you have to go through an extra step just to stop a video from playing. There's an extension on Edge that works better called "YouTube No Buffer - Stop Auto-playing" so I'm going to check and see if its on Chrome as well.
