Features & Capabilities

Keep your YouTube progress private and independent from your Google account.

YT re:Watch saves meaningful playback locally, so you can find watched videos, resume unfinished ones, and build a personal YouTube companion around channels you choose to follow. It also works while logged out.

What you can do

Keep an account-independent history of regular videos and Shorts.
Resume videos from locally saved playback positions.
See viewed indicators, progress, and available video durations.
Follow channels locally without changing your YouTube subscriptions.
Browse a locally arranged Home feed and chronological Subscriptions inventory.
Save videos to a local Watch Later list.
Create and manage extension-owned local playlists.
Search saved history and cached feed records without remote YouTube search.
Review channels ignored by a subscription import.
Explore local watch-time, completion, activity, and channel analytics.
Export and restore supported profile data with JSON backups.
Customize theme, overlay appearance, retention, and feed behavior.

Optional AI-label handling

YT re:Watch can optionally handle videos that YouTube labels as made with AI. Choose whether to show a badge, dim those videos, or hide them in re:Watch.

This feature is Off by default. It uses YouTube’s own disclosure, not general AI detection: an unmarked video is not confirmed non-AI.

How the local feed works

re:Watch retrieves public upload feeds for channels you follow locally. Home arranges cached uploads using local viewing and feedback signals. Subscriptions shows the cached inventory chronologically in stable 50-video pages.

Reload videos scans eligible followed channels for new uploads. Refresh redraws the current local data without starting a scan. Show opens the complete chronological subscription inventory.

Privacy and account boundaries

History, progress, local subscriptions, feed state, analytics, settings, Watch Later items, and local playlists remain in the current Firefox profile.

YT re:Watch has no account system or cloud-sync service. It does not use OAuth, perform remote YouTube search, or change subscriptions, playlists, or history in your YouTube account.

Direct public RSS and channel-metadata requests omit browser credentials. Thumbnails and channel artwork may load from YouTube-owned image hosts. YT re:Watch is not an anonymity tool: YouTube, Firefox, and your network can still observe normal browsing activity.

Use Backup and Restore to move supported data manually between browser profiles or devices. There is no automatic cross-device synchronization.

User Reviews

Useful add-on. It would be nice to have a view for all watched channels with the videos from them. If the search next page buttons wouldn't move on different pages you could click faster through different sites without accidentally deleting a video.

WHY NO OPTION TO DISABLE HISTORY DELETING AFTER max of 180 days?!?! Such an almost PERFECT extension, syncs your view history, allows you to browse your view history beautifully and even analytics too. Yet say bye bye to it all after 180 days, I will DONATE Monero if this is fixed and bump my review to 5 stars. No other extension currently compares, hope this lasts.

Is YT re:Watch 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.

YT re:Watch requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details

Critical Request access to the following domains: youtube.com
High ******* ******* **** *** ****** ***** *** ***** ** ******* **** ********* ********* ** * *********** *****

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.

YT re:Watch is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
