Features & Capabilities

Motivation: The 'Enhancer for Youtube' extension is very useful and powerful, which is why it is all the more tragic that it is proprietary. So, I want to implement all the features (that I think are useful) from that extension in libre code.

Repository: https://github.com/magnus-ISU/youtube-empowered

List of features:

Videos start in theater mode by default
Videos in Theater mode take up the entire viewport
Scrolling down beyond the video playback area shows a mini player that follows you

List of planned features from Enhancer:

Prevent autoplay on videos in the background

List of planned features not from Enhancer:

Keyboard navigation for comments, like RES
Have a way to show only comments below a video, only the description, or only recommendations; like NewPipe

List of features that will not be added:

Ad-blocker: Use uBlock Origin
Speed controls: Use Video Speed Controller
Theming: Install Stylus
Cinema Mode: Use a dark theme

Is Youtube Empowered 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 Empowered requires a few 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.

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