What our analysis found
hyde — hide the YouTube video player controls, used by 90,000 people, showed no malicious code in Extension Auditor's review. Our code review reported 1 finding (1 medium), led by other. Its permissions mean it can inject scripts into pages.
Key findings
- medium· other —The bundled manifest uses manifest_version 2 with only 'activeTab' permission, but the published manifest summary on the Chrome Web Store reports manifest_version 3 and permissions ['activeTab', 'scripting']. This mismatch could indicate an outdated listing or a version discrepancy, reducing trust in the listing accuracy.
The extension contains no malicious code; it only YouTube player controls via CSS. It makes no external network requests, collects no data, and uses permissions appropriately. The reviewed source matches the stated functionality exactly.

When you pause a YouTube video, the player controls don't disappear. That makes it really hard to take a clean screenshot of the video. The controls also block your view, which can get really annoying. Hyde is a simple Chrome extension that allows you to hide or show the video player controls easily. ⭐ Simply use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+M to hide the controls or show them again. ⭐
