Project: Turn off Youtube Autoplay

Fork Download
View on GitHub

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:

  1. Go to chrome://extensions on the Chrome browser
  2. 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
  3. Click on the Load unpacked extension... button
  4. Select the extension directory TurnOffAutoPlay
  5. The TurnOffAutoPlay extension should now be installed

If you want to enable the extension also while in Incognito mode, then after installing the extension:

  1. Click on the extension icon on the Chrome toolbar
  2. Choose the Manage Extensions from the context menu. You should be re-directed to the extension's config page
  3. 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

  1. Go to your favorite Youtube video page
  2. The AUTOPLAY button on the top right of the page should be disabled (grayed out)
  3. Now can you see your favorite video without getting bothered at the end by a suggested video
  4. Enjoy!
A picture is worth a thousand words :)
