Features & Capabilities

YouTube No Chat: Take Back Your Screen

This add-on automatically disables the Live Chat, and has a simple, easy to use interface. Instantly turn Chat back on if you feel like chatting during a live-stream without ever reloading, or set it to disable Live Chat on full screen only. You'll never be bothered with clicking "Hide Chat" on every video ever again. YouTube No Chat handles all the clicking for you, so you can enjoy your favorite live-streams without interruptions.

Features:

  • Live chat is hidden by default when you open a live stream
  • Toggle chat on/off from the popup
  • Switch between "always hide chat" & "only in fullscreen"
  • Preferences are synced across browser instances
  • Lightweight code: Runs instantly without slowing down your browser
PLEASE NOTE: I ported this add-on from the Chrome Web Store. I rewrote all the .js files to call Firefox APIs, but the credit for the original code goes to the named developer below.

Is YouTube No 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.

YouTube No Chat requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details
  • Critical Grants access to browser tabs, which can be used to track user browsing habits and history, presenting a privacy concern.
  • Critical ******* ****** ** *** ********* ******** ***********
  • High ******* ******* **** *** ****** ***** *** ***** ** ******* **** ********* ********* ** * *********** *****
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 No Chat is recently added, and hasn't been around long enough for us to gather enough data to accurately assess its risk level.
