Overview
Autoplay Killer
Stop autoplay across the web. One click turns it ON and it pauses every video/audio in open tabs, then keeps new pages from auto-playing again.
Why install
Silence distractions on news sites, social feeds, and YouTube.
Save bandwidth & battery by preventing auto-loading media.
Stay focused—no surprise sounds or looping promos.
Privacy-friendly: no tracking, no analytics.
What it does
Global kill switch: click the toolbar icon → badge shows ON.
Instant pause: stops all playing media in current tabs immediately.
Prevents re-autoplay: disables autoplay at page start and on dynamic content.
Smart on YouTube & socials: light hooks without heavy polling (stable & fast).
How it works (brief)
Runs at page start, removes autoplay triggers, pauses media that tries to play without a recent user action, and watches for DOM changes to re-apply.
Permissions (minimal)
storage – remember ON/OFF.
scripting & tabs – pause media and show the badge.
Quick start
Install and pin the extension.
Click the icon → ON (badge appears).
Enjoy quiet browsing; click again to turn OFF when you need autoplay.
