Features & Capabilities

The addon currently supports youtube.com, vimeo.com, orf.at, vivo.sx, twitch.tv, and netflix.com.

While the addon is active, it will monitor any Firefox tabs on a supported site to detect if a video is playing. Whenever a video starts playing, the title of the repective tab is changed to contain a custom string. The addon also comes with a toolbar button to quickly suspend and resume the operation, or access the settings page. On the settings page, you can change the custom string as well as disable operation on specific domains.

Example

By setting the custom string to "Playing ~ "

JavaScript Crash Course For Beginners - YouTube

becomes

Playing ~ JavaScript Crash Course For Beginners - YouTube

The custom string may contain any symbols that the Firefox titlebar can render. That means, standard emojis like ☺️ or 🖤 are possible. Additionally, you can specify the positioning of the original video title with (%title%). If no (%title%) attribute is set, the string is added before the original title per default.

Example

By setting the custom string to "(%title%) 🖤"

Is VideoDetector 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.

VideoDetector requires a lot of 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.

VideoDetector is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
