What is No Cookie YouTube?

No Cookie YouTube is a lightweight, open-source browser extension that removes tracking cookies and blocks ads from YouTube videos. It routes all traffic through youtube-nocookie.com, delivering a faster, cleaner, and truly private viewing experience.

The extension offers four distinct playback modes: a cinematic New Tab player, an In-Tab Redirect that replaces YouTube entirely, a full-screen In-Page Overlay, and a draggable Floating (PiP) player that stays on top while browsing — with support for multiple simultaneous players.

Privacy is the core principle. The extension collects zero data — no cookies, no trackers, no analytics, no telemetry. All settings remain in the browser's local storage, and nothing ever leaves the user's machine. The code is fully open source under the MIT License, making it auditable and community-driven.

Performance is exceptional. No Cookie YouTube uses 80% less memory and loads 50% faster than standard YouTube, with no external dependencies or bloat.

The player includes playback speed controls with keyboard shortcuts, video title display in tabs and floating windows, and the ability to export/import settings for backup or transfer.

Installation is manual via Developer mode on Chromium-based browsers — Chrome, Edge, Brave, Opera, and Chromium are all supported. Simply download the latest .zip from GitHub Releases, extract it, load it as an unpacked extension, and start watching without the tracking.

100% free. No signup. No strings. Just privacy.
