Features & Capabilities

YouTube Flash Video Player is a robust Chrome extension that allows users to select the Flash video player as the default for watching YouTube videos.

Is YouTube Flash Video Player 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 Flash Video Player requires a lot of sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
