- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 15005746, 4 years agoCan it stop preloading?
It stops the stream/video yes but there's a 'pic' of what the stream/video is. - Rated 3 out of 5by asavage, 5 years ago
- Rated 3 out of 5by MisfortuneCookie, 5 years agoA simple, useful extension that seems to work for blocking annoying autoplay videos, but whitelist/blacklisting is a missing, almost essential feature.
- Rated 3 out of 5by Marko, 5 years agoUpdating. In some case doesn't work. For example the embedded video in this website: https://tachyon-five.itch.io/project-starfighter
- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 15197543, 6 years agoWorks where other addons don't. However this needs to add exception websites like YouTube etc where we do expect videos to autoplay. It would also help to have an address bar icon to quickly disable it if we need to.
- Rated 3 out of 5by Kayosan, 6 years agoI am so happy I found this addon - going to website fumbling to stop the videos from playing was is very frustrating! Now I can work in peace Thank you! I would give this add on 5 stars if it was an all or nothing solution to whitelist sites attempting to use Netflix is a nightmare because the red box covers some of the setting example if you want to read about or rate a movie.
- Rated 3 out of 5by jrolson, 7 years agoGood but it needs more customization...
Doesn't seem to block preloading of videos which I need with my limited data.
More options like a button to toggle the addon on/off.
And an option to hide the red border would be nice. - Rated 3 out of 5by Juanka Hula, 7 years agoCould you make this addon prevent buffering as well? Also it would be nice if you could implement a whitelist so that only sites that are on the whitelist are affected by the addon and a blacklist for people that want it to work in all the site except for the ones in the blacklist.
- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 14166764, 7 years agoWorks, but poorly implemented. I don't need a big red box, and I want to turn off the video once it starts. Fix it and I'll give 5 stars.
Developer response
posted 7 years agoThanks for your comment. The red box was added by purpose - some portals tries to trick the browser, I mean the "media.autoplay.enabled" setting from "about:config", by starting the video via script two seconds after page is loaded, it's difficult to distinguish the real user's click from the fake click.
Besides, I like Opera's Click-to-Play.
