I subscribe to a number of YouTube channels. I like to queue up the videos I want to watch all at once. Then I go back and reorder and watch them. As you may know, YouTube loves to auto-play every single video you open.<\/p>\n

I’ve stopped Flash from auto-playing on the Google Chrome browser already. But YouTube uses HTML5 video when Flash isn’t available. So they play anyway.<\/p>\n

Until now!<\/p>\n

\n So if you\u2019re tired of videos bleating in the background without your consent, we\u2019re completely with you! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why we\u2019ve created a Chrome plugin to help you stop HTML5 videos from playing. The videos will auto-pause right after page load. Buffering will start anyway.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a link to the plugin in the Chrome Web Store<\/a>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This plugin works flawlessly with YouTube. I can open 10 videos and while they buffer in the background, not a single sound comes across my headphones because nothing is playing.<\/p>\n

When I’m ready to play them, I press play and they’re already pre-loaded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
