User Reviews

Leaves a big black void on the right side of the video where chat window usually is. Chat window/the black void can't be hidden while this extension is enabled. This is worse than just manually closing the chat without this extension.

A musthave addon. Hides annoying chat window. Also comments - by default. All is optional.

Is Turn Off YouTube Comments & Live Chat 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.

Turn Off YouTube Comments & Live Chat requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
