RE: Video Auto Start Issue - taba - 07-26-2018
Hi All,
Now (after version 66 of the Chromium), the following setting does not work for all Chromium-based web browsers to prevent the automatic start of videos:
"chrome://flags > Autoplay policy > Document user activation is required"
(This setting still works only in Vivaldi browser; but this time, Vivaldi has own unique drawbacks; moreover, the last Vivaldi (1.15.1147.55) is still based on Chromium 65)
The exact solution: the extension "YouTube No Buffer (Stop Auto-playing)" definitely solves this problem. In addition, it prevents the automatic start of the next videos too. You need to make the following setting for this:
- Click on the icon of the extension and open the "Options" window;
- Disable (unselect) options for "Allow JavaScript access for embedded YouTube players" and "Release no-buffer (start playing) when tab gets focus"!
- Select other options and press "Save" button!
