User reviews

While Enhancer for YouTube™ has been a highly valued and reliable Firefox add-on improving YouTube usability and audio, multiple users report it has become effectively abandoned with no updates since late 2024. Many experience the extension not functioning properly, including broken controls, missing settings, playlist speed bugs, and display issues with live chat replay on small window sizes. Compatibility problems with newer Firefox versions also impact usability. Despite past praise, the lack of maintenance and unresolved bugs have led users to seek alternatives.

Extension safety

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.

Enhancer for YouTube™ requires a few sensitive permissions. 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 Browser Add-ons, 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.
