YouTube™ to MP3 is an easy-to-use Chrome extension that allows users to convert streaming YouTube videos directly into MP3 audio files with a simple click. An intuitive in-page button appears below videos on YouTube pages, enabling quick and hassle-free downloads.

Users can select from five different MP3 quality levels (default is 128kbps) in the extension's options to customize their downloads. It supports converting multiple YouTube videos to MP3 format efficiently. The conversion process can be stopped at any time by closing the tab or pressing a delete button.

This extension is a specialized fork based on the original "Audio to MP3" add-on, tailored exclusively for YouTube. It offers a seamless experience for those who want to extract audio from YouTube videos quickly and easily without leaving the page.

Extension safety

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™ to MP3 requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

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 Browser Add-ons, 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.
