The main goal of this project is to turn off the annoying Youtube autoplay feature for ever even after clearing your browsing data!
This is not a project to be taken seriously. It was done with the express motivation of experimenting with building Chrome extensions. But if the extension helps you in any way, then that's a bonus!
You can find more information about this awesome Chrome extension @ README.md. There you will find information on how to remove the Chrome extension :( if you were fortunate enough to have it installed in the first place.
Installation notes
To install this experimental Chrome extension:
- Go to
chrome://extensions
on the Chrome browser - Click on the Developer mode toggle button at the top right. This will trigger new buttons to be available at the top left of the page
- Click on the Load unpacked extension... button
- Select the extension directory TurnOffAutoPlay
- The TurnOffAutoPlay extension should now be installed
If you want to enable the extension also while in Incognito mode, then after installing the extension:
- Click on the extension icon on the Chrome toolbar
- Choose the Manage Extensions from the context menu. You should be re-directed to the extension's config page
- Go to the Allow in incognito option and click on the toggle switch to enable also the extension in Incognito mode
How to use it
- Go to your favorite Youtube video page
- The AUTOPLAY button on the top right of the page should be disabled (grayed out)
- Now can you see your favorite video without getting bothered at the end by a suggested video
- Enjoy!
