User Reviews

Works as intended, I'd appreciate If an option to not shuffle VODs (previous live streams) was added, or maybe excluding videos containing certain character/s. Amazing work👌.

Usually works but has broke now in Zen browser?? Fails to even detect the channel for some reason.

by Fi*****, 2026-04-10

Works about as expected but has no option to exclude members-only videos which makes shuffling through channels with these more tedious. a minimum view count would be nice too

Is Random YouTube Video 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.

Random YouTube Video 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.

Random YouTube Video is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
