Script for youtube that disables autoplay and annotations?


Recommended Posts

I find myself watching allot via YouTube but the thing that annoys me the most is the stupid annotations and the insistence of auto playing the next video that might be related to what you're currently watching.  Is there a script or something for FF that I can add to stop this? I already have html5 video not playing automatically, but inside of YouTube this doesn't mater after the first video. I know that it can be turned of per session but I'm looking for a permanent fix, if such a thing exits. Thanks!

You can disable autoplay in the right corner.

Edit:

Rereading your post... I don't know if you have already turned off or not, but I've never seen another video after I had this thing off. It works wonders.

Click on your picture (top-right corner), and click the gear button. This will bring you to YouTube Account Settings. 

 

Hit Playback, and uncheck "Show annotations and in-video notifications"

Maybe he doesn't have a YouTube account? :)

Hehehe :p

 

Then, OP, try this:

Or if you want something more extreme, this:

I just tried this in ff, no addons

 

I'm not sure if it helps, but this was not signed in neither

I know about this option, however I am looking for a permanent solution, not just a per video.

    • I don't expect to see 12 this year, but not for this reason. Windows 10 got a 21H2 update the year Windows 11 came out, it even got 22H2 the next yet.
    • Android 16 adds a new "network notification" setting that warns you when a rogue "stingray" device is trying to spy on you There are many simple things you can do to keep your private information safe, like using strong passwords, scrutinizing app permissions, and only installing apps from trusted sources. However, some attacks are much harder to protect yourself against, as they’re so sophisticated and stealthy that they can happen without you ever noticing. One such attack tricks your phone into connecting to a fake, insecure mobile network, which is difficult for the average person to detect. Fortunately, the new Android 16 update has a feature that can warn you when someone is using this tactic to snoop on you. This type of attack uses a device called a “stingray.” An attacker sets up this device near a target they want to surveil, and it mimics a legitimate cell tower. The stingray tricks nearby mobile devices into connecting to it, allowing the attacker to collect unique identifiers (like the IMEI) and even force them onto an older, more insecure communication protocol. These identifiers allow attackers to target specific devices for analysis, while switching protocols can let them intercept unencrypted text messages and phone calls. https://www.androidauthority.com/android-16-mobile-network-security-3571497/
    • It's worse in Canary this week. When you type something in the address bar and press enter, most cases it defaults to "Ask copilot" that shoves whatever you wrote into copilot. Then you have to retype whatever you wanted and use the down arrow or mouse to select your search engine instead of copilot. Each version that has this behavior(that can't be turned off in settings yet) I'm sending feedback in hoping they don't do this into other channels.
    • Oh wow i really didn't know about this! 😳 Could you tell where they're available even if not public?
