About Autoplay Off

Videos should wait for you. Autoplay Off stops video and audio on a page from playing until you press play. It handles the muted background video that hijacks your scroll position, the news player that starts talking three paragraphs in, and the "up next" that fires the moment a clip ends. Three strictness levels, so you can loosen it if a site misbehaves Allow a site with one click when you want it to just work Counts what it stopped on each page Optionally let silent video through No account. No tracking. Nothing leaves your browser.
