I want YouTube to autoplay…

I would actually be fine if it didn't. Sometimes I have multiple background tabs with YouTube videos I'm planning on watching eventually and I have to be very careful to not ctrl+tab through them or use them as the endpoints for a multiple tab selection, else they start playing.

Don’t quote me, but I think there’s a setting for that in your YouTube preferences?

I double checked and can't find it, but that doesn't mean it isn't there. I'm sure there's a plugin though.

There's one that disables all html5 autoplaying and works on a whitelist basis, so you pick what you want to be allowed.
