User Reviews

It seems to remove most tracking parameters, but there are still occasional videos which have &pp= tracking on them, which is a bit unfortunate, but seems to work better at least than some of the others I've tried as at least most videos have the unnecessary parameters removed. Edit: Thanks for updating. After updating to 1.0.1, it seems that the behaviour is similar, but still slightly further improved. Some links on the homepage seem to still contain the &pp= parameters, but I am wondering if this is JS adding these after page load time, so if there would need to be some more aggressive methods to update the page closer to real time. Still, it does seem that there are less videos which have this parameter at a quick glance anyway, so updated review to 4 stars. Looking forward to a future update which is somehow able to remove these completely! Thanks for fast reply and quick update!

It's entirely functional, no clue what the other guy was talking about. Tested this with normal, shorts and live videos on both the youtube.com and youtu.be domains.

Is Remove Youtube Tracker Parameters 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.

Remove Youtube Tracker Parameters 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.

Remove Youtube Tracker Parameters is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
