User Reviews

YouTube Tweaks is widely praised as a powerful, versatile fix for YouTube’s UI that also improves playback controls and usability. Reviewers call it essential, well-polished, and capable of replacing older extensions. The main benefits cited are broad functionality and smooth performance, including scroll-based speed adjustments. Common drawbacks relate to missing or incomplete features: autoplay control, a list view, hiding end cards and right-rail recommendations, and occasional playlist pauses. Popular requests include more aspect-ratio options, repeat playback, auto-pause behavior, cinema mode, and open-source transparency. Overall, it’s highly valued with frequent desires for further enhancements.

Brilliant extension that radically improves the youtube experience. Request: Segment the video player progress bar based on the chapters, the way youtube used to do until they removed this feature

Is YouTube Tweaks 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 Tweaks 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 Tweaks is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
