About QuietTube: Autoplay Blocker for YouTube

Take back control of your YouTube experience with QuietTube: The ultimate, lightweight YouTube autoplay blocker designed for distraction-free viewing. Tired of YouTube deciding what you watch next? If the native toggle isn’t enough, and other extensions break your player or completely ignore Shorts, QuietTube is your solution. QuietTube works silently to give you back your focus. Videos will only play when you are ready. It's the perfect background tab blocker for office workers, and a must-have tool if you want to save bandwidth on YouTube. WHY QUIETTUBE STANDS OUT: 🛑 Disable YouTube Playlist Autoplay Other blockers only stop the very first video in a playlist. QuietTube halts every subsequent video. Listening to auto-generated YouTube Mixes? The next track stays paused until you manually click play. 📱 Stop YouTube Shorts Autoplay Most extensions completely fail on Shorts. Our smart detector reliably freezes Shorts as you scroll. No more sudden loud noises or accidental video starts when you're just browsing your feed. ✨ Clean, Native Experience (0% CPU Usage) We don't use clunky overlays or fake play buttons that break your volume and subtitle controls. Unlike heavy alternatives, QuietTube boasts near 0% CPU usage and keeps your original YouTube player 100% intact. Nothing is broken, nothing is covered up. KEY FEATURES: Smart Click Detection: The extension knows the difference between your intentional clicks and YouTube's automatic triggers. Audio-Shield: Prevents split-second audio leaks when opening videos in background tabs. Ultra-Lightweight & Saves Bandwidth: Extremely efficient code that stops videos from buffering endlessly, helping you save RAM and internet traffic. Quick Toggle: Easily disable protection from the extension menu when you want to binge-watch. Privacy First: Zero data collection. We don't track your history or inject ads. Install QuietTube and enjoy the silence.
