Chronotube Firefox

Chronotube

Automatically updates current YouTube or Twitch video URL with the timecode of the playing video

Features & Capabilities

This is a tiny addon that evolved from my userscript. It simply updates your URL when you're watching a YouTube or a Twitch video so that it always contains a timecode at the position you're watching the video.

This makes it a bit simpler to share videos with timecodes, but the main reason is to store the position at which you stopped watching the video in the browser history.

You may look into addon preferences for the offset - by default it is -1 so the timecode lags behind the actual video for one second, it can be any number - even positive if that is needed for whatever reason. Also the preferences allow you to specify the timecode format - there are two interchangeable formats supported by both YouTube and Twitch at the moment.

Is Chronotube 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.

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

Risk impact analysis details
  • Critical Request access to the following domains: youtube.com, twitch.tv
  • High ****** ********* ** * ****** ******** ******** ********** * ******* ******* *****
  • High ******* ******* **** *** ****** ***** *** ***** ** ******* **** ********* ********* ** * *********** *****
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.

Chronotube has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
