Love the extention, but I hate having to press SleepTimer in setting everytime I watch a video.

Thanks!

Autoplay is YouTube's feature, I'm pretty sure they a setting for that. Or do you mean something different? 

By SleepTimer, do you mean this? You don't have to press this everytime because by default all watched videos are hidden on the homepage. The issue is it won't be marked as watched if you don't watch 100% of the video. This is just how youtube works.

You can just watch till the end so that you won't have it be recommended again.

I mean this button. It stops auto playing videos in a playlist. 

I know that other button you showed removes the video from the playlist.

It’s just that I prefer to manually click on videos in a playlist than have them auto play; so I also use Control Panel for YouTube for that. But when I turn this extension on, it seems to inadvertently turn off the setting to turn off playlist auto play.

Huh... that's strange. My extension doesn't actually mess with any if those settings. If you're clicking on any video from the main feed then it will open the video as part of a playlist which automatically goes to the next video when the current video is done. This is actually YouTube's default behaviour. What I did was just hide the queue on the video page. 

So, I wasn't really messing with the auto play. When you click a video (only from the main feed, not related videos) YouTube by default opens it in a playlist queue of videos.

Yes, I do know that autoplaying videos in a playlist is a default behaviour, but what I’m talking about is more of a feature suggestion - not a bug report.

I just think a new setting in Watch Later Feed to disable playlists autoplaying would be a nice quality-of-life feature.
