Preview of YouTube Video Incognito

YouTube Video Incognito by ketexon

Makes videos act as incognito by removing cookies and reloading pages if they were navigated via the History API. This disables the anti-adblock feature.

Extension Metadata

About this extension
This is a simple extension that:
  • Removes the cookie headers for all https://*.youtube.com/watch?* links (requires webRequest and webRequestBlocking perms)
  • Cancels all https://*.youtube.com/watch?*themeRefresh=1* requests (to prevent a bunch of refreshes when removing cookies)
  • Refreshes page (requires tabs perm) on client-side redirect to a video (requires webNavigation perm) to mimic disabling the History.pushState API
  • Checks if your browser prefers dark mode and enables it for video pages and, if so, enables it (since disabling cookies disables it for some reason)

Drawbacksː
  • When the client-side redirect happens, you are still initially logged in and a request is sent to YouTube that you accessed the video.
  • It signs you out, so you cannot watch age-restricted videos
  • It signs you out, so you cannot like, subscribe, or comment
