Overview

Watch individual videos that you saved for later without autoplaying all of them.

This browser extension disables the Watch Later autoplay behavior when selecting a video from the Watch Later list. The YouTube Watch Later feature lets users save a video to watch at a later time. When selecting a video from the Watch Later list YouTube will then always autoplay every subsequent video from the list. This happens because YouTube treats the Watch Later list just like any other playlist and there is no way to disable autoplay when viewing videos in a playlist. Once installed, the extension works automatically. When you click on a video on the Watch Later list the extension will remove the playlist parameters from the video URL, allowing you to watch the video or copy the URL without the default autoplaying playlist behavior.

sadly it does not work for me. its not removing the &list=WL from the URL. I use vivaldi though, so its barely a mainstream browser, even if it technically supports webstore extensions

Thanks for this, Jeff! It works on both Chrome & Brave, though on Brave it only works if you open the Watch Later in a new tab instead of from clicking the Watch Later in the sidebar. Edit: it works fine on Brave if you disable Brave Shields
