Features & Capabilities

YouTube is built to keep you scrolling. This extension takes that part away and leaves the useful one.

• The home page opens Subscriptions instead of the recommendation feed. The header takes the full screen, so nothing grabs you before you decide what to watch. • Shorts are hidden everywhere — in subscriptions, search results, on channels and in the channel tab. One switch brings them back. • The watch page is clean: no related-videos column, no ad panel. Without a playlist the player takes the full width. • Theme switch — device, light or dark — applied through YouTube's own setting, so it survives reloads. • A focus timer that keeps counting with the popup closed and tells you when the time is up.

No accounts, no tracking, no remote code. Settings are stored locally and never leave your browser. Source code: https://github.com/KARIB9/minimal-for-youtube

Is Minimal for YouTube 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.

Minimal for YouTube 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.

Minimal for YouTube is recently added, and hasn't been around long enough for us to gather enough data to accurately assess its risk level.
