Features & Capabilities

Minimal youtube behaviour modifier. Intentionally opinionated to fit my use case

You ever scrolled way too much in youtube? Ever added extensions like unhook, untrap and leechblock, just to stop it?

Well use this, to separate discovering content, and to watch content. Use discovery mode to find new videos, save them to a playlist. Use watching mode to watch said content. Always leave your youtube page on watching mode so you don't scroll automatically whenever you open youtube.

.. use ublock origin element picker mode to block shorts

Is YouTube Mode - Separate discovering and watching 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 Mode - Separate discovering and watching requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. 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 Mode - Separate discovering and watching is recently added, and hasn't been around long enough for us to gather enough data to accurately assess its risk level.
