Features & Capabilities

YouTube is horrible to navigate. Subscriptions are filled with shorts, Home page is ruined by playables. The whole thing feels like it was designed by a robot to extract clicks. Lantern lets you use YouTube without ever having to look at it again.

Features:

• Displays YouTube tabs as a grid with thumbnails • Generate custom feed • In-app search, subscriptions, home, and channels • In-app library - history, watch later, liked • Add and remove videos from playlists inside Lantern • Automatic sync across devices • Easy multi-account switching • Hide watched videos from subscriptions feed • Video progress saves across restarts and tab close • Per-account playback speed • Group tabs into folders • Pin videos and tabs to stay after being closed • Re-open recently closed tabs • Batch actions - copy links, add to playlists, close tabs • RAM saving button - cools off active tabs • In-app access to browser bookmarks menu • Custom themes, wallpapers, and profiles • Upload custom pictures and animated GIFs to any UI surface

Fully Private: Lantern runs entirely on your machine. It communicates only with YouTube and Google through the login you already have to pull your feeds.

Is Lantern – YouTube Tab Manager & Dashboard 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.

Lantern – YouTube Tab Manager & Dashboard 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.
