Features & Capabilities

YouTube Archive Description Viewer

View archived versions of public YouTube video descriptions using snapshots from the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine.

The extension helps recover information that may have disappeared from a video's current description — including old links, credits, references, social media pages, download links, sources, and other text that was present when the page was archived.

Open a YouTube video and use the extension to look for available archived snapshots of its description. If the Wayback Machine has a suitable snapshot, you can view the older description without manually searching through the archive yourself.

Useful for researching older YouTube videos, finding lost links, checking how descriptions changed over time, or recovering context from videos uploaded years ago.

Availability depends on whether the video's page was previously archived by the Wayback Machine.

Is YouTube old Description Viewer 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 old Description Viewer 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 old Description Viewer is recently added, and hasn't been around long enough for us to gather enough data to accurately assess its risk level.
