There's a Firefox extension (also available for Chrome) that turns off automatic translations and dubbing [1]

Moments like these really make me appreciate the customizability of the web experience for advanced users.

So at this point, to use YT you need:

- Ublock origin. - Sponsorblock. - DeArrow. - Youtube no translation

At what point do we collectively decide to no longer patch over enshittified bullshit?

I also use an extension to stop automatically playing a video when I open it and another to stop automatically opening the next recommended video when the current one ends.

It would be great if companies content creators ag least used PeerTube additionally.

Auto play should be configurable in the browser. In Firefox: Settings->Search "permissions". Autoplay is one of the options and can be controlled on a per-site basis (I have it disabled globally).
