A simple Google Chrome extension to disable autoplay for videos from your YouTube Watch Later playlist.
YouTube Watch Later Playlist URLs in the form
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XXXXXXXXXXXX&index=123&list=WL
will attempt to be rewritten as
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XXXXXXXXXXXX
to prevent YouTube's autoplay from being triggered.
- I love YouTube, and I hate autoplay
- I wanted to make a minimalist Google Chrome extension
I usually open videos in a new tab from my Watch Later playlist, which automatically has the list=WL querystring parameter. I also don't usually watch videos in the order I added them to my Watch Later playlist. Instead of trying to hack YouTube's massive amounts of JavaScript, this extension does exactly what I need.
