- 5 段階中 3 の評価Charwick3335 によるレビュー (1日前)Before 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.開発者の返信
投稿日時: 1日前Hi, 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. - 5 段階中 5 の評価Firefox ユーザー 18614250 によるレビュー (2年前)I have tried multiple extensions but this was the only one which worked on Youtube for Desktop.
