Features & Capabilities

Мany people put links to videos on forums and blogs. Often they do so in the form of simple inscription like "looks here" or "as seen in this clip". Absolutely no information. We do not even know we have watched this video or not.

We were forced to go to the YouTube, wasting time and bandwidth. I wrote this addon to receive and display information about the video directly from YouTube without visiting.

This addon allows you to see the title, duration, channel and creation date of the clip without visiting the YouTube site. Simply hover cursor over link.

Attention! In recent months, Google has been changing (decreasing) quotas for using the YouTube API for its own reasons. As a result, the addon sometimes gets a denial of service, and you see the message “Broken link”. In the next version of the addon I will try to mitigate the situation.

Addon works in two modes:

Show info as link's tooltip.

This mode is not recommended for slow internet connections. If you see "Loading..." for a long time, just re-hover the cursor.

Show info as browser notification.

For Vimeo links look at Vimeo Tooltip & Notification addon.

Is YouTube Tooltip & Notification 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 Tooltip & Notification requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details

Critical Allows access to all websites, posing a significant security risk as it can monitor and modify data from any visited site.

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 Tooltip & Notification may not be trust-worthy. Avoid installing if possible unless you really trust this publisher.
