Thank you, thank you, THANK you. I am not particularly tech-y but I followed directions and tried it. It worked! FINALLY this horrible, horrible obnoxious YouTube auto-intrude feature is gone. It has been driving me mental. I have tried various useless suggestions and extensions from other things I've read and none have worked. This seems to have done exactly what I have been looking for and it's perfect. You are a Star!

This works a charm, thanks. I had a go at tailoring your script to also stop www.bbc.co.uk videos from autoplaying, but failed miserably. Mainly because I don't know what I'm doing! Any chance you could oblige? Thanks in advance if you can.

Could you update this for the new Youtube layout please?

Anyone is welcome to fork this one, or copy it into their script runner of choice.

Jeff, your script doesn't seem to work in greasemonkey (copied the script).

I tried Greasemonkey and Tampermonkey and the script did not work for me. Mac OS Sierra 10.12.6, Firefox 55.

Just found out I have a gist for this: https://gist.github.com/PintsizedSix40/6211833aba07a201919412e829297a2b
Just tested it and it works, if anyone needs it. It seems to work, despite being a few years old. I tried the other ones but they don't seem to work (maybe just firefox, idk). This just removes all the videos and the autoplay switch. There is still an open space there.
