Reviews of yet another autoplay blocker:
I've only used it on Yahoo, but it works perfectly. No autoplay, but if I want to play the vid, I can, unlike some others I've tried.
Totally breaks video playback on Twitter, post-Elon.
It doesn't work half the time. There's no way to have it off by default. On click, on specific sites, on all sites, doesn't matter, I have to turn it off on every single site! Every single time! That's just useless. I don't want anything on any site to autoplay unless I click on it. Ever. Period. And I can't get it to do that!
Worked on CNN and with some videos on Yahoo, but video ads are still playing.
Finance.yahoo.com this is the ONLY blocker that works! Not even ublock origin will grab and remove the frame. I'm guessing that this works because it simply lets it play for a few milliseconds and then hits the "off" button. Recommended. FIGHT back! Don't let Yahoo beat you.
Picked it at random for Brave browser. In my 5 minutes of exhaustive testing it worked perfectly on several MSM "news" sites, completely silencing the annoying swarm of unwelcome auto-play video windows that pop up and ruin my browsing. The peaceful, quiet experience of scrolling and reading without having to shut down the pesky video windows was magical!
Simple and does what I needed. I tend to have multiple windows open in Chrome with lots of YouTube videos queued up to watch…eventually, and every time I restarted my Mac or Chrome, all the YouTube videos in the active tabs of the various windows would all fire off and start playing and I'd have to go chase them down and manually pause them. This extension did the trick and now they open up paused and silent!
Garbage. Works maybe half the time, if that.
Finally found a blocker that keeps websites from stealing bandwidth (I have data caps).
Did not block video powered by www.anyclip.com on a site that was auto playing videos.
I picked this one from the bunches of autoplay blockers because I liked the name. :) It works. 'Nuff said.
Does what I want it to do. thanks. I mainly want it for videos on pages such as fox or cnn or other fake news sites like that. You cant get through an article without ten videos playing as you scroll down to read. This stops almost all of them, usually the first one, the main one, gets through but the rest stop as you scroll.
Works perfectly for YouTube and for Facebook on Chrome 85.0.4183.102
does not always work... works when i open a new youtube video does not work when i refresh the page 4 some reason
Wow! seems to work perfectly. Going test it a little more, works great on Youtube. Thanks!
Great. The autoplay blocker extension which actually work. Would be nice to have whitelist option though.
