Using this since I can remember. But noticed another issue and still searching how to disable the video cache at all until I start to play the video and to limit it to 2-5 seconds (or 1 MB) during playing, though no chance so far.

For youtube there is a "YouTube no Buffer"[0] extension that does precisely this - stops videos from autoplaying and buffering when you open a link.

I have this plugin, Leechblock and ublock filters (blocking any mention of shorts from the site) to make yt less addicting. And it kinda works.

And just another issue since few months: youtube page auto-reloads/replaces itself since few seconds after opening (even if the tab is not active). The title gets replaced from the original language into English auto-translation (EN is default for browser), but I'd like to see video titles in the original language.
