Video Blocker: Stop Annoying Autoplay Videos
Video Blocker is a free Chrome add-on developed by Ben Plowman. It falls under the category of Browsers and is specifically classified as an Add-ons & Tools subcategory.
Video Blocker is designed to prevent all web videos from automatically playing on pages, providing a seamless browsing experience free from annoying autoplay videos. It allows users to whitelist specific domains, such as youtube.com, where videos can still play if desired. Additionally, users can enable a single video by simply clicking on it.
The latest version, 1.2, includes bug fixes for poorly translated languages and has been migrated to the latest version of the Chrome Extensions framework (manifest v3). Version 1.1 addressed a bug where some videos were not being blocked, ensuring comprehensive video blocking functionality. Version 1.0 introduced features such as reduced CPU usage in pages with frequent content updates and support for adding domains with multiple parts to the allow list.
Video Blocker is an essential tool for those who want to take control over autoplay videos while browsing the web. It offers a straightforward solution to block videos from playing and provides customizable options for whitelisting specific domains.
