YouTube no Buffer (no autoplay)by James Fray

This is a new (and more optimized) method to ask YouTube player from auto-buffering. Using this extension prevents the player from being initiated and initialization would occur upon user request.

This add-on can be used to prevent YouTube pages in the background tabs or windows from auto-playing or buffering video content. This will also help saving bandwidth.

Features:
1. Stops autoplaying on "/watch?v=" pages
2. Stops autoplaying on "/user/" pages
3. Stops autoplaying on "/channel/" pages
4. Stops autoplaying on embedded YouTube players.
5. Supports YouTube's new material design (as of version 0.2.2)

Please note that this extension ONLY prevents YouTube HTML5/Flash players from auto-buffering (auto-playing) once after a YouTube page is being loaded. This extension does not aim to stop YouTube players from playing next tracks. For this you probably need to install another extension.

Note: This is WebExtension implementation of my https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/youtube-no-buffer/. Since two different methods are used, I am not going to merge these projects; however, this one is even lighter and more stable than the other project.. Please report bugs to https://github.com/james-fray/YouTube-No-Buffer/
