Features & Capabilities

YouTube Plus is a Chrome extension designed to enhance your YouTube experience by providing more freedom and customization with the previous YouTube layout. It allowed users to enjoy YouTube with additional features tailored to the classic interface.

However, due to the introduction of YouTube's new layout, YouTube Plus is no longer receiving updates and may not function with the latest design. For users looking for similar enhancements compatible with the current YouTube layout, the recommendation is to switch to the newer extension, Iridium, which is specifically developed to support and enhance the latest YouTube interface. Iridium can be accessed here: Iridium Extension.

User Reviews

Users find YouTube Plus useful for blocking propaganda and appreciate its features when it functions correctly. However, many report it does not work reliably, with broken features like the missing 'restore classic YouTube' option and non-functioning disabled autoplay. Some suggest pairing it with YouTube Classic for better results, but overall, the add-on suffers from inconsistent activation and performance issues.

Pros

Works well when it activates
Can be enhanced if paired with YouTube Classic extension

Cons

Does not work consistently or at all for some users
Broken functionality related to 'restore classic YouTube' option no longer existing

Recent reviews

Broken. You're asked to "restore classic youtube" for it to work. This option no longer exists.

Is YouTube Plus 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 Plus 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 Plus has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
