About
Video Blocker stops annoying autoplay videos before they start. * Prevents all web videos from automatically playing on pages. * Allows you to whitelist specific domains like youtube.com where you want videos to play. * Allows you to enable a single video by clicking on the video directly. * If you find a video this extension is not currently blocking, I'd love to hear about it. Hit me up on twitter @benplowman. New in version 1.2 (October 2022): * Fixed a bug where several languages were poorly translated. * Migrated to the latest version of the Chrome Extensions framework (manifest v3) New in version 1.1: * Fixed a bug where some videos were no longer being blocked. New in version 1.0: * Reduce CPU usage in pages with lots of content updates. * Support for adding domains with multiple parts like "stan.com.au" to the allow list. Before you could only add the end of the domain, "com.au", to the allow list, which didn't make much sense. * Removed unused notifications permission.
