@mcc (all i can think of is that i've set autoplay on the video player itself to off, bc i never ever want to see whatever crap yt thinks i should watch next)

@mcc @jplebreton I'm pretty sure that's not it actually; I also had autoplay off, for the same reasons, but have had the hover minefield issue for...I don't know time anymore. I'm pretty sure it's been months? And it hadn't occurred to me that there was an option to switch it off.

unless by autoplay you don't mean "pick a video at random from all of Youtube to play after the video you watched" and instead mean "allow video to start without an initial click." I do have the latter turned on

@ChateauErin @mcc @jplebreton Just spotted this in settings under "Playback and performance." I appreciate that reading this conversation led to me to finding and turning that mess off

@Cheeseness @ChateauErin @mcc ah, that does seem like the ticket! thanks for digging, hopefully this helps others.

1. Click on your profile picture
2. Configuration
3. Playback and performance
4. Turn off checkbox in Browsing -> Inline playback

That should disable that "feature" :)
