Features & Capabilities

Keeps your preferred YouTube playback settings after logging out or clearing your browser's cookies.

This extension allows you to choose:

whether video previews should play while browsing YouTube
whether captions should always be shown
which video quality YouTube should prefer

By default, the extension turns off video previews, turns off always-on captions, prefers 1440p video, and keeps the YouTube player in "Cinema" mode.

When you change the quality setting, the extension also tries to update the video that is already playing. If that quality is not available for the current video, YouTube will choose the closest available option. If you have YouTube Premium and choose 1080p as your preferred quality, YouTube will automatically use "1080p Enhanced Bitrate".

Is Persist YouTube Preferences 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.

Persist YouTube Preferences 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.

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