Review Summary
Users appreciate that the extension effectively disables autoplay on YouTube and is easy to use. However, many report it doesn't work on other sites and often breaks site functions like buttons and links. A common request is for a whitelist feature to allow exceptions. Some users find it so restrictive it completely blocks videos or essential page interactions, reducing overall usability.
Pros
- Effectively stops YouTube videos from autoplaying, which some users appreciate.
- Easy installation and simple interface with a toggle to disable autoplay.
- Works well on certain websites like YouTube according to some users.
Cons
- Fails to block autoplay on many websites besides YouTube, limiting its usefulness.
- Blocks functionalities beyond video autoplay, such as buttons, links, and drop-downs, breaking site usability.
- Lacks a whitelist feature, forcing users to manually type URLs to allow exceptions.
- Blocks embedded YouTube video links, preventing clicking through to full videos.
- Some users report that it completely blocks YouTube videos from playing, even manually, making it unusable.
