Bring Back YouTube's Stop Download Option

YouTube's Stop Download was a option used to available in the YouTube context menu for stopping the video buffering if you no longer wist to watch it. 

  • useful for users who has very slow broadband connection.
  • useful when you just want to look up information, comments or any other thing in the page without spending your data and many other useful needs.

Sadly YouTube's Stop Download option was removed in recent YouTube's update and Stats for nerds is introduced in place of it.

If you miss the feature and want YouTube's Stop Download option back we have few tools overcome the grief. A bookmark and Google Chrome extension.* 

Bookmark: Just drag and drop the button below to your bookmarks bar. Clicking the bookmark while watching the video will stop the video.


Chrome Extension: The Chrome extension will add Stop Video button next to Subscribe button, clicking on it will stop the download.

These tweaks will obviously not going to bring back YouTube's Stop Download Option in context menu for now, but surely will help you do the same thing.

*Any of the two tools will not work except YouTube.
