Extension Usage Instructions
Disable the video previews that autoplay any time your mouse hovers over a thumbnail on YouTube (sometimes called "inline playback").
This extension has three modes:
1. DISABLE ONLY FOR SCROLLING
Closest to default YouTube behavior. Previews play as normal but only if you purposefully move your mouse to the video. If your mouse just lands on a video after scrolling, it will not play.
2. PLAY ON LONG CLICK - (Recommended)
Previews don't play on hover, but instead play after a "long click" on the thumbnail. Click and hold down briefly (for about half a second) and the preview will play.
3. COMPLETELY DISABLE
Never play video previews. Extension Basic Information
