User Reviews

Works with Youtube nice. But if you want to visit sites where a verification that you are a human is necessary and that site uses Cloudflare, you have to disable this extension. Because otherwise the verification always fails. Maybe the developers can fix this.

Is Universal Video Hotkeys 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.

Universal Video Hotkeys requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.
