About

Tired of YouTube videos playing automatically when you just want to browse? No YT Preview is a lightweight, privacy-focused extension that disables "inline playback" (hover previews) across all of YouTube.

Why use No YT Preview?
- 🚫 Stop Distractions: Browse your feed without constant motion and noise.
- 💾 Save Data & Bandwidth: Prevent videos from buffering unnecessarily in the background.
- ⚡ Boost Performance: Reduce CPU and memory usage by stopping unwanted video loads.
- 🔒 Privacy First: This extension runs entirely on your device. It does not track you, collect data, or send any information to external servers.

How it works:
It automatically sets the necessary YouTube preferences to "Off" and prevents the preview player from loading. Just install it, and the previews stop instantly. No configuration required.

Perfect for users on limited data plans or anyone who prefers a calm, static browsing experience.
