> I’m delighted when YouTube’s annoying autoplay-next-video is foiled by it.
YouTube has this built-in nowadays. The button is at the bottom of the player, on the right hand side, on the left of the subtitles/captions button.

Makes me wonder what the web would be like if browsers were never subject to this conflict of interest in the first place and always prioritized keeping the user in control.
This is how it should work. It only doesn’t because autoplay is great for metrics and it’s nice for their metrics that all major browsers allow YouTube to autoplay.
So if you’re, say, opening a video in incognito because you want to watch a single video without that channel being recommended for the next 6 months, that little autoplay button is always toggling itself back on.
Though I have that in vanilla Firefox and it works fine for me on YouTube.
