Features & Capabilities

Tubeless hides the parts of YouTube you'd rather not see. Every toggle is independent, and one switch pauses the lot when you want plain YouTube back.

Sidebar: Shorts, Explore, "More from YouTube", and the "You" section (full, minimal or hidden).

Top bar: Create button, notifications bell, filter chips.

Home: all recommendation shelves, gaming shelves, event banners, alert & promo banners, feed nudges.

Content types: Shorts, movies & shows, community posts, Mixes, playlists & podcasts, live streams, music videos, member-only videos, Premieres.

Watch page: action buttons (full or minimal), merch shelf, AI summary, live chat, fundraiser shelf, end-screen cards, description, comments, recommendations sidebar, Wikipedia/context panels.

Elsewhere: in-feed and overlay ads, survey popups.

Sensible defaults are on out of the box. Everything else lives in the toolbar popup.

How it works One stylesheet, injected into youtube.com, hiding whatever you've switched off. No remote code, no network requests, no rewriting the page.

Privacy No telemetry, no analytics, no tracking. The only permission is storage, used to sync your toggles via Firefox.

Is Tubeless 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.

Tubeless 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.

Tubeless may not be trust-worthy. Avoid installing if possible unless you really trust this publisher.
