Latest version
Version 1.5.1
Released Jul 20, 2026 - 35.73 KBWorks with firefox 128.0 and later- Fixed in-app navigation cleaning on the mobile YouTube site (m.youtube.com): tapping a video that carries Mix or playlist context now cleans the URL again. The mobile app never fires the desktop navigation event that 1.5.0 relied on, so cleaning only worked when a link was opened in a new tab. Navigation is now detected through several independent signals (desktop and mobile YouTube events, the Navigation API, and a URL watcher fallback)
- Fixed Firefox, where 1.5.0 cleaned nothing at all: a Firefox-specific scoping difference in content scripts (globalThis is not window there) crashed the cleaner before it could run.
- The popup now detects when access to youtube.com is missing and offers a one-click "Grant access" button. Firefox treats site access as optional and never grants new site access during extension updates, so some Firefox users end up with the extension installed but inactive.
- Firefox now requires version 128 or newer.

Version 1.5.0
Released Jun 22, 2026 - 34.69 KBWorks with firefox 109.0 and laterRebuilt the cleaning engine on declarativeNetRequest: playlist/mix context is now stripped from the request before YouTube loads, so the page never enters a Mix and there is no reload or flash (Chrome). Replaces the previous approach that only edited the address bar after the Mix had already loaded.
Added a content-script fallback for in-app navigations (clicking a Mix while already on YouTube) and for browsers without declarativeNetRequest; it cleans via location.replace, so the Back button always returns to the previous page rather than the playlist.
Reworked the popup into a master switch plus independent "Mixes & radio" and "Playlists" toggles, so cleaning can be limited to either type or turned off entirely.
Useful watch parameters (such as the t timestamp) are preserved while playlist context is removed.
Permissions: added storage and declarativeNetRequestWithHostAccess (neither shows an install warning) and removed the now-unused tabs permission (the background watcher that relied on it was replaced by the declarativeNetRequest engine), so existing users update without having to re-enable the extension.Source code released under MIT License
