I would like to know how to make YouTube stop prioritizing videos in Russian in search resultsâŚ
Even though Iâm Russian, I hate everything Russian people post on YouTube⌠Itâs so awfulâŚ
Is there a way to stop videos playing autoplaying globally, regardless of whether youâre viewing it on YouTube or itâs embedded in a different page or whatever? A browser setting or extension? Firefox for preference.
I like to open a lot of tabs in the background, and itâs disconcerting and annoying when I suddenly start hearing the audio track to a video thatâs automatically started on one of those tabs.
my favorite youtube tip is that VLC can just play youtube videos⌠& this extension will add a right-click-menu option of âPlay Youtube Video in VLCâ, and makes it even easier! no need to run youtube.com & all its javascriptâŚ
edit: i forgot that some videos that are âdisabled on this deviceâ will NOT work in VLC also⌠it must consider that another device. so alot of songs wonât work like this.
You need a Flash(HTML5) blocking add-on or script.
One that I use is Flashblock: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/flashblock/
but it seems a more-maintained add-on is Flash Control - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/flash-control/
Is there a tip for getting everyone else in the world to stop leaving such juvenile, mean-spirited comments on YouTube videos?
Disable comments, duh! 
You ar dum and proble muslum. 
Is there a tip on when not to make a .gif of every goddam video you see? Because Iâll bet my friends at Boing Boing would enjoy that one!
Hereâs step one: Is it a music video? Because those tend to lose something when you silence them. For example, the music part.
No. 5 doesnât work.
Youtube has changed something so my old autoplay-blocking tools donât work on it any more. And it starts with its own autoplay turned on. I can turn it off⌠but it has already started. I can turn it off and reload⌠but it turns back on.
Fuck. I turn autoplay off in about:config, and I still canât block autoplay!
Firefox really needs to stop enabling every painful misfeature.
Tip: Set your âSubscriptionsâ page as the default YouTube bookmark.
Seriously, who needs their suggestions? And that page loads slower than your subscriptions page.
This plugin is a decent panacea, at least until Endless September is over (any day now, right guys?)
More likely, itâd end up with the spammers flooding the system, crowding out the other users, and upvoting each otherâŚ
This userscript might work: https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/7893-remove-youtube-autoplay
(Sorry-- it means installing another add-on â Greasemonkey [use this version, for the time-being] or Tampermonkey â in order to get the script to run.)
(But GM/TM are so extremely useful for tackling many browsing challenges, itâs worth the extra install.)
