User Reviews

Overall, users praise YouTubeUtils for reliably looping videos (especially on mobile) and for delivering the requested YouTube utilities with minimal bloat. It’s often described as the only working loop option for mobile YouTube and is viewed positively when functioning. Recurrent downsides include intermittent reliability requiring page refreshes, a fixed playback speed that can't be changed via YouTube's controls, usability issues on desktop Firefox, and concerns about broad permission requests. Common requests include more speed flexibility and additional UI tweaks.

Pros

Loops YouTube videos reliably, and is the only working option for looping on mobile.
Generally works well and delivers the core YouTube utilities users want.
Positive feedback about the developer and the effort.

Cons

Reliability issues: often requires refreshing the page for the extension to function.
Playback speed is effectively fixed by the extension and cannot be overridden by YouTube's player.
Not reliably functional on desktop Firefox.
Broad permissions requests raise privacy concerns (access to all websites/tabs).

Is YouTubeUtils 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.

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

Risk impact analysis details

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.

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