Features & Capabilities

TubeTweaks is a powerful Chrome extension designed to enhance your YouTube experience by adding privacy and usability features. It prevents YouTube from generating or loading trackable share links, enhancing your online privacy. Additionally, the extension changes the hostname of YouTube's share links from the short youtu.be format to the full www.youtube.com URL, making link sharing more transparent and reliable.

This extension is free and open source, allowing users to review and contribute to the source code on GitHub. With TubeTweaks, users gain better control over how YouTube links behave, improving both security and user experience on the platform.

Is TubeTweaks 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.

TubeTweaks requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
