Features & Capabilities

A Firefox extension that reduces the opacity of YouTube overlay elements for a less intrusive viewing experience while maintaining full functionality on hover.

The extension intelligently targets specific YouTube overlay elements and reduces their opacity to your preferred level (default 30%). When you hover your mouse over any transparent element, it instantly returns to full visibility, allowing you to interact with it normally. Move your mouse away, and it fades back to your set transparency level.

Is YouTube Overlay Opacity Reducer 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 Overlay Opacity Reducer requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
