TubeStop for Google Chrome
When Google released a document today showing the design process for Google Chrome extensions, I thought it would be fitting to have one of the first third-party extensions for Chrome address a major shortcoming of one of Google’s other products. With that thought, I give you: Install TubeStop for Google Chrome What is TubeStop? It’s [...]
TubeStop reviews requested
I’ve finally uploaded TubeStop to Mozilla Add-ons, but it can’t be brought out of the sandbox (protected area for untrusted extensions) until it has some reviews and undergoes an editor approval process. If you use TubeStop and find it useful, I’d appreciate it if you’d write a quick review of it over at the Mozilla [...]
TubeStop also stops YouTube ads
The TubeStop Firefox extension that I wrote in order to stop YouTube videos from auto-playing also has the serendipitous side-effect of removing ads from YouTube videos. Since YouTube is only serving ads through the player on their main site, and not on the embeddable/syndicated player, and TubeStop works by replacing YouTube’s native player with the [...]
TubeStop updated
I’ve updated the TubeStop Firefox extension to work with YouTube videos that have embedding disabled (like this one of Ben Folds covering Elton John).

TubeStop
My latest browser extension, TubeStop, is an extension for Mozilla-based Web browsers that disables the autoplay on YouTube.com videos. This means that you can open YouTube videos in multiple tabs without them all starting to play at once. Currently, this extension only works on videos at YouTube.com, not on YouTube videos embedded on non-YouTube.com websites [...]
