- Ocijenjeno s 3 od 5od Charwick3335, prije 2 danaBefore installing, I’d like to see a few privacy and transparency improvements:
1. The extension requests the cookies permission and includes a getYouTubeCookies() function that reads cookies for youtube.com. Even though this function appears disabled, it’s unclear why this level of access is needed for audio-only playback. Removing the permission or clearly justifying it would improve trust.
2. Relatedly, keeping dormant cookie-access code in the repository raises unnecessary concerns. If it’s not required, it would be better to remove it entirely rather than leaving it commented out.
3. The extension logs various playback and stream details (including audio stream URLs) to the console. While likely intended for debugging, this could expose sensitive data in shared or inspected environments. Reducing or disabling logging in production would be safer.
4. The extension modifies page behavior beyond audio-only playback (e.g., overriding visibility state, auto-clicking “continue watching” dialogs, and bypassing certain YouTube interstitial checks). These behaviors should be clearly documented so users understand exactly what the extension is doing.
Overall, the functionality looks useful, but tightening permissions and improving transparency would make it easier to trust.Odgovor programera
objavljeno prije 2 danaHi, thanks for the review, those are valid concerns. The cookies' related access permissions are because of some potoken testing that required them, they are not used now but could be used (and most likely will be) in the future when there's a proper potoken implementation. As to why are they still in the code is because I haven't had much free time to revert some of those changes, the same goes for the javascript code used to block some of yt's content/checks.
When (if) I get some free time I'll update the code and the description, for now anyone can check the source code and decide for themselves if the extension is worth it or not as you seem to have done yourself. Odgovor programera
objavljeno prije 4 mjesecaThe extension has been updated and it's working at the present moment.- Ocijenjeno s 5 od 5od Petr, prije godinuA very good video blocker, it works very well. It helps a lot when I don't want to be distracted by the videos or when I want to give my eyes rest. I listen to videos instead of listening to them so it something listening to podcasts.
