Features & Capabilities

This is my first (and probably only) extension I have ever written. It was born out of frustration with the continuous addition of crap to YouTube.

This extension does the following:

Restores the homepage to have six videos shown per row
Hides shorts on the homepage
Hides banners on the homepage (sports, politics, "breaking news", etc)
Prevents opening a video from automatically opening a "mix playlist" despite not being a playlist. (This is the straw the broke the camel's back)
Hides the "end screen" on videos (The video recommendation + large channel icon that often gets in the way of the video's ending)
Removes tracker URLs from embeds & from generated shared video links.

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 De-Crapifier requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

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.
