Yesterday I talked a bit about YouTube adding advertising, and what that means for YouTube users. Now it looks like the creator of the popular Firefox extension TubeStop was pleased to figure out that his extension actually already stops YouTube’s new advertising feature.

This extension was actually created to allow Firefox users to have videos open in several tabs by stopping YouTube’s auto play feature, so users can view the video when they are ready. The happy side effect is that it prevents all video overlay advertisements.

It’s nice to see this Firefox extension creator was able to foil YouTube’s advertising plans before YouTube even announced their advertising!
