Summarize Before You Click
Unlike other YouTube summarizers that only work on videos you're already watching, our extension lets you see what a video is about directly from the thumbnail. This saves time and prevents the YouTube algorithm from recommending similar clickbait content since you never clicked in the first place.

Frequently Asked Questions
Have questions about our YouTube summarizer extension? Here are some common questions and answers.
How does the extension summarize videos without watching them?
Our extension analyzes available metadata, video transcripts when available, and user comments to generate summaries without requiring you to click on the video.
Does this extension collect my data?
No. All processing happens locally in your browser. We don't collect, store, or share any of your browsing data or YouTube activity.
Will this affect my YouTube recommendations?
Actually, it should improve them! By only clicking on videos you genuinely want to watch (after seeing their summaries), you send better signals to YouTube's algorithm about your true preferences.
Does it work on all YouTube videos?
The extension works on most YouTube videos, including regular uploads and Shorts. For videos without transcripts, it can still generate summaries based on available metadata and comments.
