Kick - Stop Auto-play on Homepage

A UserScript that prevents intrusive videos from auto-playing on the Kick.com homepage.

✅ Features

• 🛑 Stops auto-play - prevents intrusive Kick.com homepage videos from starting automatically
• 🎯 Homepage‑only scope - runs exclusively on the Kick root URL (https://kick.com/), not on channels or sub‑pages
• ⏱️ Smart retry logic - polls for the video player up to 5 times at 2‑second intervals to ensure detection
• 🎬 Event‑based control - hooks into the playing event so the video is paused exactly when playback begins
• 🖥️ Lightweight - no external libraries, no grants, minimal overhead
• 🌍 Cross‑browser compatible - tested on Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Safari, and Edge
• 📝 Transparent debugging - logs an error in the console if the player cannot be found, with a support link for reporting
• ⚖️ Open source license - released under GPL‑3.0‑or‑later

🧩 Compatibility

• Chrome
• Firefox
• Safari
