You can disable it with the "inline playback" toggle here: https://www.youtube.com/account_playback

If you don't happen to be in some or other test group, that is. No guarantees :)

Absolutely maddening that feature.

It seems to revert to on again if you clear cookies, same as autoplay. Hostile UX.

Any way to disable if I don't have an account? Asking for a friend

Some custom stylesheets or javascript would make short work of it. Extensions like `tampermonkey` or `violentmonkey` could inject them.

Obvious but still: Only ever run code that you yourself have written, or scripts you have personally verified to be safe.

I have to thank you too. I would've not known where to even look for that.
