function disableAutoplay() {
  const btn = document.querySelector('.ytp-autonav-toggle-button');
  if (btn && btn.getAttribute('aria-checked') === 'true') {
    btn.click();
  }
}
disableAutoplay();
const obs = new MutationObserver(disableAutoplay);
obs.observe(document.documentElement, { childList: true, subtree: true });

Does this example work?

Snippets are useless without somewhere to paste them.

JustZix takes 2 minutes to install and runs your code on every matching page. No account, no payment.
