Features & Capabilities

YouTooltip is a handy Chrome extension that enhances your browsing experience by displaying detailed information about YouTube videos when you hover over their links. It shows the video title, duration, publish date, and channel name in a tooltip, popup, or notification, saving you time from clicking and opening each video.

Key features include auto or hover activation modes, customizable display options, and support for multiple APIs such as Google, Invidious, and Piped. YouTooltip requires optional permissions to scan pages automatically or display notifications, giving you control over when and how the extension operates. Users can also provide their own API keys for reliability.

Note that YouTooltip uses Manifest V3, so permission granting depends on your browser settings. This extension is ideal for users who want quick insights into YouTube videos without disrupting their browsing flow.

User Reviews

Useless for mobile, very sad...

It doesn't seem to work. Already given access to all websites (although I only needed/tested it on YouTube). Tried auto and on hover. Tried both tooltip and notif. Nothing. Nothing happens when you hover over a thumbnail/link to related videos.

Works after you manually enable permissions in settings.

Is YouTooltip 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.

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

Risk impact analysis details

Critical Allows access to all websites, posing a significant security risk as it can monitor and modify data from any visited site.

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.

YouTooltip has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
