Code, model and service licensing

Firefox labels this extension All Rights Reserved. Its publisher EULA grants no ownership and prohibits transfer, modification/derivatives, redistribution, sublicensing, third-party use and reverse engineering; verify the terms for your chosen distribution. Free installation is not an open-source license. Users must also follow the affected websites' terms. The privacy policy says extension data stays in local browser storage with no transmission/collection, while the website uses Google Analytics and feedback records user-agent details. These are publisher statements with separate scopes, not an audited guarantee about YouTube, browser sync or every network path.

Basis and limits of the recorded score

The existing 4.7 editorial score is retained without its original scoring evidence. This docs-only update measured no attention effect, reliability or comparison and did not re-score it.

Overview

Unhook changes which elements appear on supported YouTube web pages. Publisher listings describe switches for recommendations, the home feed, Shorts, comments, end cards, autoplay and other controls. They also describe embedded-video support and mobile YouTube through Firefox for Android, so the old blanket statement that mobile is unsupported is inaccurate. These are page controls, not verified protection against every route back to a feed.

Choose the switches you need and review browser permissions. The Firefox listing requests access to www.youtube.com and m.youtube.com. Native YouTube apps, another browser and a disabled extension are outside this documented control path. The extension privacy policy and the separate website/feedback policy have different scopes; neither a free download nor a local setting grants open-source rights or proves error-free operation.
