Adds an option to disable video playback when hovering over thumbnails on the home page.
(Fixes #1785)
How it works:
Instead of using D-Rekk's solutions of
getEventListeners(node)
orelem.remove()
, this solution adds an event listener to the global window object, listening for globalmouseenter
events.Then, if the event's
composedPath
property contains an element matching "#content dtd-rich-item-renderer" (which selects the thumbnail elements that listen for the mouseenter event), the event is immediately stopped withevent.stopImmediatePropagation();
.The event also runs before YouTube's native events by telling the event listener to trigger during the capturing phase instead of the bubbling phase.
Notes:
The second part of the issue (for recommended video previews in the sidebar) should already be covered by the "Hide animated thumbnails" option.
This is my first commit to the codebase, so please let me know if there are any changes that need to be made to integrate it!
