- psychometry 12y agoThere are some really bloated "YouTube enhancer" type add-ons that do it unreliably. This has been a problem for so long that it's pretty clear Google doesn't care and wants YouTube videos to auto-play against the user's wishes. They want to force you into using their UI rather than opening videos in new tabs.
- porsupah 12y agoIf you're fine with downloading YouTube videos for playing locally, I've found 4K Video Downloader works well, at least under OS X. You'll wind up with plain H.264/AAC MPEG-4 files. https://www.4kdownload.com/download https://www.4kdownload.com/download
- psychometry 12y agoHow does that solve the problem of videos autoplaying when you access the page?
- unfortunateface 12y agoWhen i'm on youtube I like to open loads of tabs before going through each one later. With click to play for flash this wasn't a problem, but html5 will autoplay and get very annoying. Is there a way around this? Do you think Youtube would be for or against that (i.e. do they really want me opening more than one tab?)
