How to Stop Youtube Video Autoplay And Loading at 00:00 Chrome

Hi,
I'm using Chrome on Windows 7.
Unfortunately I got no BB Net except 3G mobile net for my PC.
Tried many extension but failed to stop loading youtube video.
I got very limited data(1GB each day).
So,please help me on above issue.
Many times I need to watch post or write but don't want to load video due to very limited bandwidth.

Try a JS blocker. Will solve the auto play issue.

How to Disable YouTube Video Autoplay [Quicktip]

on Chrome browser, type chrome://chrome/settings/content in the address bar and enter. After the settings page appear, scroll down and look for the Plug-ins section, and change the option to Click to Play.
With all this set in Opera and Chrome, whenever you open a new video on Youtube, it will not load nor will it play, until you click the big button on the video screen.

New chrome(Version 61.0.3163.100) has no Plug-ins section, and change the option to Click to Play.
Only java script,flash,unsandbox plugin etc. but youtube runs on HTML5.
And blocking flash or java script did not worked for me.

What happen when you disable JS ? What difficulty are you facing ?

Do you mean JavaScript Popup Blocker or ScriptBlock ?
I could not find JS blocker at webstore.

I can see a lot of javascript blockers in the web store.

So any javascript blocker will do the job only have to change the setting ?
Tried with ScriptBlock already but did not work.

If you block javascript, it will block all auto actions on the webpage. The webpage will stay as it was loaded without any auto elements. But, it will also stop alerts, like we have in this forum.

Sorry, I'm kinda noob.
Tried to ad website name(youtube.com) at javascript blocker but its blocking almost whole page.
I don't know how to do it properly.

How to block/disable all videos from automatically loading in Chrome?

How about HTML Content Blocker, it is different than HTML 5 Autoplay. [HTML Content Blocker]
In conjunction with your current Flash blocking it should solve your problem.
there is also a flash blocker extension:Flashcontrol]

So far, so good. Using this set to block "Media" and "Object", several videos that got through Adblock Plus have been successfully blocked completely by this, no wasted data. Not yet encountered any videos that sneaked through the net

I've tried it, and there are only five options: which kind of content to block. With the 'media' option selected, it prevents auto-loading and auto-playing of video. Unfortunately, it doesn't allow manual playing. So if you want to watch a video, you have to go to the extension and deselect 'media'.

Sorry but almost whole youtube page blocked when I blocked Media.

Currently trying Enhancer for YouTube™ and its working fine for now.

Damn!
I don't know why but it's not working anymore.
I tried with FF but same story.

Yea,but it blocked the full page when when I blocked Media.

It is supposed to block videos on selecting media & of course youtube home page is full of videos but still you should get a page with some content & not a blank page.You can always copy the url of video you want to watch & open it in a new tab after closing the youtube page & deselecting "media" or open it in another browser.

Disabled every extensions except HTML Content Blocker.

What's the problem then?HTML Content Blocker is working correctly blocking HTML5 media resulting in youtube error.This same error is reported by older browsers without HTML5 support.You have to deselect the media option & reload the page to view video.

I think you did not get my point at first post at all.

I want all except to load video due to my bandwidth limitation.

No offense but your wording in 1st post was not clear enough.

Many times I need to watch post or write but don't want to load video due to very limited bandwidth.

So you meant to say that you want to view & post comments on youtube videos without loading of the youtube videos on youtube site.I understood it as you wanting to write or view comments on sites/forum that have embedded youtube videos.After all youtube videos are not just on youtube site but also embedded in lots of other sites/forums.

Assuming that above is what you meant then try firefox browser(you can use portable version,no need to install) & this addon to try:
YouTube No Buffer (Stop Autoplaying)
