2023-12-31	Talwick	Working perfect so far, even in combination with other extensions (adblock and force theatre mode). Does as described, preventing YT videos from auto buffering/playing when opened, great for when I open a bunch in new tabs and don't want them to all play or react to my media keys. Cheers for sharing this great extension!
