I have forked and modded this userscript due to youtube breaking stuff (You refresh the page, autoplay goes back on even if you turn it off). The autoplay got moved into html5 player, and the only way I can do it is with JQuery. My version would not allow autoplay to be turned on, it'll turn off again because of youtube bug above.

@JohnyP36 You need to use a script running extension. Personally, I prefer Tampermonkey, but there are a number of options out there that let you save different scripts and run them as you see fit, on a single website, on all websites, on document ready, etc, etc. They are quite powerful.
