External Playlist for YouTube

By: grad13 Add-on
A self-managed playlist that lives outside YouTube. Stash your open YouTube tabs into it with one click, carry it between machines via your browser's own bookmark sync, and play through it hands-free — auto-advance, loop, shuffle, media keys.

Features & Capabilities

Turn the habit of "piling up watch-later videos as browser tabs" into a single playlist you actually play through.

Stash — tabs become the playlist One toolbar click gathers every YouTube video tab in the current window into the playlist and closes them (the tab you are watching stays open). Videos are stashed in tab order, de-duplicated. Press the icon again anytime to sweep up newly opened tabs.

Bookmark Sync — one playlist on every machine The playlist is stored as an "External Playlist for YouTube" bookmark folder, so your browser's own bookmark sync carries it between machines — no account, no server. Edits made on another machine show up in the panel by themselves. It survives reinstalls, and keeps a local copy when bookmarks are unavailable.

Playlist — hands-free playback Each video is a card in the sidebar: click to play, × to remove, drag to reorder; the playing video is highlighted. When a video ends, the next one plays in the same tab. Loop cycles off → all → one (kept in step with YouTube's native right-click Loop), Shuffle re-orders, and the F7 / F9 media keys skip through the playlist (F8 play/pause stays YouTube's). A freshly opened video waits paused until your first click.

Privacy Everything stays in your browser: no account, no server, no analytics. The only network request the extension makes is fetching video thumbnails from YouTube's image host. Browsing history, cookies, and saved credentials are not read.

Is External Playlist for YouTube 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.

External Playlist for YouTube 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.

External Playlist for YouTube is recently added, and hasn't been around long enough for us to gather enough data to accurately assess its risk level.
