Age Restriction Bypass for YouTube™ is a Chrome extension designed to help users watch age-restricted YouTube videos without the need to sign in or verify their age. This extension automatically detects age-restricted videos and retrieves them using YouTube's unrestricted API, ensuring seamless viewing.

For videos that are non-embeddable, the extension falls back on an open source Account Proxy Server to unlock content. This means you can access all types of age-restricted videos effortlessly and privately. The tool is ideal for users looking for quick and easy access to restricted content without account sign-in hassles.

Source code is openly available on GitHub, emphasizing transparency and community collaboration. Try it to unlock age-restricted videos instantly!

User reviews

Users appreciate that the add-on bypasses YouTube's age restrictions without requiring personal information, which is particularly valued in regions with strict verification. However, multiple users report inconsistent performance, including failures to work normally, especially outside InPrivate mode, issues with embedded videos, and playback problems like missing video or pop-up players that can't be fullscreened. Overall, while effective for some, reliability and compatibility issues limit its usefulness for others.

When I scroll down the youtube page the video plays as a pop up and can't be made full screen. Maybe some setting can be changed to facilitate this. At least it plays and no sign in was required. Thanks.

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.

Age Restriction Bypass for YouTube™ requires very minimum permissions.

Risk impact analysis details

High Injects scripts into web pages, which may alter or extract site contents, resulting in a substantial risk.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that an Edge add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Edge add-on reputation on Edge Add-on Store, the amount of time the Edge add-on has been around, and other signals about the Edge 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 an Edge add-on.
