In case of YouTube you can actually dump the link into VLC, and it will happily buffer the whole video while paused. This probably works with other sites, but I have only tested YouTube.

Alternatively you can of course just download the video with yt-dlp, and then play it locally

Yet some people on here like shilling mpv. I've used both but vlc makes me feel at home.

And the developers behind VLC seem like very cool people, too!
