Just like the mobile applications, there is a toggle on the browser-based version of YouTube, albeit not quite as prominent. You can see the video plus the long list of “Up Next” videos that will keep playing if we don’t intervene.
If you look closely at the upper right corner of the “Up Next” queue, you’ll see the toggle.
Flip it off and the “Up Next” queue just becomes a suggested playlist and not an unending rotation of videos.
That’s all there is to it–flip the autoplay toggle across all the devices you use YouTube on and the annoyance of autoplaying videos vanishes.
