Features & Capabilities

This add-on simply takes the link generated by the YouTube video page whenever the Share button is pressed and sanitizes it by removing the "si" parameter from it. This parameter, called a Source Identifier, is superfluous and serves only to extend an otherwise shorter URL and to potentially compromise your online privacy.

You can also manually sanitize links by clicking on the add-on icon and pasting the link in the appropriate field. This method supports more website links, such as Facebook and Instagram Reels.

Is Source Identifier Sanitizer 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.

Source Identifier Sanitizer requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. 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.

Source Identifier Sanitizer has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
