Video Auto Pause

Amazing - it works good in all websites - the settings and hotkeys are nice - Tip : if its not working reload the page

Yo, I liked the extension, but can you add a filter list, so I don't have to disable it every time I open the same website

Not sure why the negative reviews, but works pretty well on Vivaldi-Linux.

The privacy clause is a shady. It's not clear either the extension collects data from the particular tab where is youtube running or any tab due a browser loaded the extension and its turned on. Not clear clauses where the data collected transfer where on what basis either. The functionality is though perfect.

Hi and thanks for the review! The extension does not send data anywhere, and only data saved are the extension settings. The extension is also open source and you can find the source code from GitHub if uou want to check it yourself or even install from the sources just to be sure what is actually run.

I tried it. Went to USA Today and it didn't stop any videos.

Doesn't pause. stop videos at all.

So far, I'm pleased. My only desire is that the video Pause until I click on the video itself, not just go to the tab that it's on. It's not uncommon for me to open several tabs in a window. I skip around between tabs, not sure what I'll watch first. I don't understand why they start playing just because I switch to the tab. Once I start it playing, I'll typically work on other things - and wish for it to keep playing. I'm usually working with a 2-3 monitor setup, and several windows. ... Show more

Hi and thanks for the review. You can customize this behaviour in the settings. Just switch off the 'resume on tab change' and it should work as you described. Hope this helps!

Such a useful extension (and it's open source). Thank you!

Didn't know I needed this extension, found it accidentally. Works very well, highly recommended.

Works great after restarting the browser.
