Features & Capabilities

The Invidious Redirect Chrome extension automatically redirects all YouTube links to Invidious, a privacy-focused front-end for YouTube.

This tool allows users to watch YouTube videos without ads, trackers, or Google integration, enhancing privacy and improving browsing speed. Ideal for users seeking an ad-free and privacy-respecting YouTube experience, Invidious Redirect simplifies access by automatically rerouting any YouTube link to Invidious.

Is Invidious Redirect 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.

Invidious Redirect 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 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.
