Stop YouTube Autoplay With YouTweak [Chrome]

There are endless extensions and scripts available to tweak YouTube. But I was looking for an extension that could stop YouTube from auto-playing videos and I found YouTweak. This extension is available for Google Chrome and can be installed from Chrome store. Not only to stop the auto-play, it has many other tweaks too. After installing the extension you you will be asked to visit the options page for the extension. The options page is quite simplified and you will be shown a list of tweaks you could do to YouTube. Every option has a check box attached to the left and description is displayed on the right. Checking the check box will enable the tweak. All of the features are turned off by default, which gives you complete control over the extension.

   This adds a button with every video on the homepage clicking on which will hide it from YouTube. The hidden videos will remain hidden from your account even after you uninstall this extension because this makes use of the YouTube’s Hide Video option.

   The YouTube logo situated at top left of every page by default takes you to YouTube.com, but this option will let you change the default behavior and you can specify any custom URL to be the link for the YouTube’s logo.
