About Watch Later Autoplay Stopper
When a video in your YouTube Watch Later playlist ends, YouTube immediately plays the next one. YouTube's Autoplay switch doesn't apply to playlists, so there is no setting to turn this off.
Watch Later Autoplay Stopper keeps you on the video you just finished:
Read the comments, check the description, or just take a breath.
When you're ready, press the player's Next button (or Shift+N) to continue.
Works on Watch Later by default; switch to "All playlists" from the toolbar popup.
Turn it on or off at any time.
The extension is deliberately small:
Runs only on youtube.com.
No ads, analytics, tracking, or network requests of its own.
Stores only your two settings.
