User Reviews

Most mentioned points: easy setup and strong QoL benefits; essential for translation/localization on YouTube; but reliability issues persist, including laggy live chats and tab freezes/crashes that may require a browser restart or removal. Overall, highly valued for functionality, with recent stability concerns as a notable caveat.

Pros

Works very well out of the box with essentially no setup
Quality-of-life improvement that makes YouTube easier to use
Fills a missing native feature (translation/subtitle controls) and is essential for multilingual viewers
Clean, straightforward implementation that does what it promises
Highly regarded and recommended by users for improving YouTube usability

Cons

Causes lag in live chat and can freeze or crash the YouTube tab
Lag and freezing can persist beyond a single session, sometimes requiring browser restart or full removal
Stability issues have been reported in recent updates

Is YouTube No Translation 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 Translation 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 No Translation is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
