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"

Hehehe :p

 

Then, OP, try this:

Or if you want something more extreme, this:

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.

    • hi thanks for input. those two modems are supported  thankfully. i really am leaning towards the b12 though since there's a few complaints of the cm3000 and its chipset (drops and whatnot), although those might just be vocal minority complaints.
    • A PDF or text file is all you need for Copilot to generate a PowerPoint for you in seconds by Usama Jawad Assistive AI is all the rage these days. In the past few hours alone, we have witnessed AI summaries on YouTube, context-aware text generation capabilities in Google Sheets, Gemini tools on the cloud, the availability of additional AI models with smarter defaults in Visual Studio, and chat summarization on WhatsApp. Now, Microsoft has detailed an upcoming Copilot capability in PowerPoint. Microsoft has outlined a streamlined approach to creating PowerPoint presentations within seconds using a PDF or text file, and a natural language prompt as input. Previously, you could just ground Word files for this purpose, so support for additional formats is certainly welcome. In order to generate a slide deck using Copilot, you can simply open a PowerPoint presentation in the platform of your choice and click the Copilot button. In the resulting Copilot pane, select the "Create a presentation from a file" option, which allows you to type in the name of a PDF or text file stored on the cloud or browse for files in OneDrive or SharePoint manually using the "Attach cloud files" button. You can then refine your prompt by adding details about items that you'd like Copilot to focus on and click the "Send" button. This will generate the slide deck which you can rearrange or add more topics to, before you create the final version of the presentation. Of course, this is a particularly useful feature in many scenarios including those which require you to create a slide deck based on some detailed documentation that you have already completed. That said, it's obviously worth vetting any content that Copilot creates, since data inaccuracy is still a concern when it comes to AI models. This feature is available to Insiders across PowerPoint for web, Windows, and Mac for the following versions: Windows: Version 2409 (Build 18025.20000) or later Mac: Version 16.88 (Build 24082514) or later That said, you do need an Enterprise Copilot license in order to utilize the AI assistant in this way.
    • >For instance, if you are watching a tutorial, you could ask for a summary or even for a quiz on the main points. At that point, the content creator should get their cut, Google. Instead: >If people are getting everything they need from a summary without ever clicking through, there's not much reason to watch the actual video. That means fewer views, less watch time, and less money. Do content creators get to write their own summaries or turn off Google's summary content thievery? Somehow I doubt it...
    • I know with my isp they will only support certain models. You might want to check with them,
