Actually click-to-play is what made YouTube usable to me. Now it is broken and I had to write a user script to fix it. When I brows YouTube and search for something, I want to open several search results/related videos in background tabs. But idiotic YouTube auto-plays videos. Autoplay is one of my most hated anti-patterns. I wrote a user script/chrome plugin that replaces all video page links with base64 URLs that insert a hop to the actual video page (including preview image) so I can keep using YouTube like I want it. I made it so that when i directly click a link it still goes to the watch page directly. See: https://github.com/panzi/intercept-youtube-links https://github.com/panzi/intercept-youtube-links
