User Reviews

Users appreciate YouTube Search's simple, efficient, and well-designed GUI that avoids intrusive permissions and includes hotkeys. It effectively helps users search YouTube without distractions from the homepage. However, multiple users note the GUI is stuck in dark mode irrespective of theme preference, and shortcuts require manual configuration, which some find less convenient.

Pros

Simple and efficient interface
Well-made GUI with a nice design
Does not require intrusive permissions
Supports hotkeys for quick use
Helps avoid distractions from YouTube homepage

Cons

GUI always in dark mode regardless of theme preference
Lacks built-in shortcut functionality (requires manual keyword addition in manifest.json)

Is YouTube Search 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 Search does not require any sensitive permissions.

Risk impact analysis details

Low This permission has no access or impact on the user's system or data, thus carrying no risk.

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 Search has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
