User Reviews

It's good to have such an addon to focus on video.When I clicked on the video It was maximized but didn't play the video.I tried many times but it gives some error and didn't play at all.Another thing is which noticed there I can't go back to my Youtube homepage. It was repeatedly redirect to the same page.Only thing I can do is close the tab.

Is FocusTube 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.

FocusTube requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
