Enhances YouTube with new features and emotes

Features & Capabilities

BetterYTV is a Chrome extension that enhances the YouTube experience by adding Twitch-inspired features and emotes to live chat. It supports all global FFZ and BTTV emotes, allowing users to enrich their chat interactions with a wide range of expressive icons. Channel-specific emotes can be enabled by linking your Twitch account through the channel/about section.

This extension continuously plans to add new functionality for an improved user experience on YouTube. Users interested in contributing can find the open-source code on GitHub. However, it's important to note that YouTube's chat policies are strict—spam can lead to immediate bans without warning, so users should chat responsibly.

Is BetterYTV Safe?

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

BetterYTV requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood
Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.
