User Reviews

Overall, users praise the add-on for ease of use and clipboard-friendly saves, with the benefit of capturing content beyond screen size. However, reliability varies: screenshots can be black or fail on some content (live/short videos), and updates or adblockers can break it. Additional drawbacks include non-customizable hotkeys, the button only appearing during YouTube playback, and requests for features like subtitles, millisecond timestamps, and proper file-saving support.

Pros

Works as advertised / generally reliable when it functions
Easy to use / convenient
Saves to clipboard for quick pasting
Not limited by screen resolution (captures beyond display)

Cons

Screenshots sometimes come out black or fail to render
Reliability issues with live/short videos and after YouTube updates
Adblocker conflicts can break functionality
Hotkey is not customizable / default hotkey triggers text
Button only appears during YouTube playback and not in the built-in Firefox toolbar

Is YouTube Screenshot Button 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 Screenshot Button requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.
