About AutoplayOff — Stop Autoplay Videos

Tired of videos that blast sound the second a page loads? AutoplayOff keeps every site quiet until YOU decide to press play. ★ WHAT IT DOES • Blocks autoplaying video and audio on every site, automatically • You stay in control — just click the video you actually want to watch • Per-site allow-list: on a site where autoplay is welcome, allow it once and AutoplayOff stays out of the way there • Simple on/off switch whenever you want a break ★ WHY YOU'LL LIKE IT • No more surprise sound in a quiet room or a crowded office • Less wasted bandwidth and battery from videos you never asked for • A calmer, faster-feeling web — pages stop fighting for your attention ★ 100% LOCAL & PRIVATE AutoplayOff works entirely inside your browser. No account, no server, no analytics, no tracking. It doesn't watch what you watch — it only pauses media until you choose to play it. Your on/off setting and allow-list are saved on your device. ★ HOW TO USE 1. Install it — autoplay is blocked everywhere by default. 2. Want a video? Click it to play, like normal. 3. Trust a site? Open the popup and "Allow autoplay on this site". Lightweight, no-account, does one job well. Note: once you interact with a page, that page is treated as user-activated (just like Chrome's own rules), so playback you start works normally for the rest of that visit.
