User Reviews

No sidebar option, but clean interface and working.

Works just as advertised. I chose this over the more popular "DF Youtube", because it needs fewer permissions and is open source. There is, however, one remaining minor distraction for me: The left side bar on the main page, whose Subscriptions segment features some potentially distracting thumbnails. I think it would be nice to have an option to collapse that side bar by default, as you can do by clicking on the hamburger menu above.

Excellent! Away with recommendations, reviews – clean viewing. I chose this out of curiosity because it had no stars and no reviews. It works just fine. Thanks!

Is Youtube Blinders 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.

Youtube Blinders requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details

Critical Request access to the following domains: youtube.com

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.

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