Stop YouTube Hover Previews is a Chrome extension that allows you to disable the video previews that play when you hover over a video thumbnail on YouTube. This extension provides three options for disabling the previews, allowing for a more focused browsing experience.

The first option, "Disable Only for Scrolling," closely resembles the default YouTube behavior. Previews will play when you intentionally move your mouse over a video, but if your mouse simply passes over a video while scrolling, the preview will not play.

The second option, "Play on Long Click," is recommended for users who prefer to manually trigger the preview. Instead of playing on hover, the preview can be activated by clicking and holding down on a video for a moment. The preview will continue to play until you move your mouse off the video.

For those who wish to completely disable the video previews, the third option, "Completely Disable," will ensure that video previews never play.

With Stop YouTube Hover Previews, you can regain control over your browsing experience on YouTube by eliminating the distractions caused by video previews. This free extension is a must-have for users who value a more focused and uninterrupted viewing experience.
