Fast YouTube Load
YouTube page load is 5x slower in Firefox than in Chrome because YouTube's Polymer redesign relies on the deprecated Shadow DOM v0 API only implemented in Chrome. This extension helps you to load more faster the page in your Firefox.

Is Fast YouTube Load 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.
Fast YouTube Load requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
