Flash Player for YouTube™ is a Chrome extension that replaces YouTube's default HTML5 player with the Adobe Flash Player. This alternative player is designed to be extremely light-weight, consuming minimal CPU and RAM, making it ideal for users with slower machines.

Key features include the ability to set Flash Player as the default for YouTube videos and access to potentially more resolution options compared to the standard HTML5 player. This extension aims to improve video playback efficiency while offering a resource-friendly solution. Developers are encouraged to use and contribute to the source code, available via Mozilla's platform, fostering collaborative improvements.

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.

Flash Player for YouTube™ requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details

Critical Allows access to all websites, posing a significant security risk as it can monitor and modify data from any visited site.

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.
