Clickable Channels for YouTube

Tracking since May 8, 2026.

Changelog

• May 18, 2026
  description

  Channels on YouTube used to be clickable everywhere. These days,
  in lots of places - your History, the list of suggested videos
  next to the one you're watching, your Watch Later, and other
  playlists - the channel name shows up as plain text you can't
  click. Annoying when you just want to jump to the creator.
  
  Clickable Channels for YouTube quietly fixes that. The channel
  name becomes a real link again, so a single click takes you
  straight to the creator's page - just like YouTube used to work.
  
  What you get:
  - Open any creator's page in one click - from your History,
  Watch Later, suggested videos, and other lists.
  - Spend less time searching for channels you've already watched.
  - You're in control: a single switch in the toolbar lets you
  turn clickable channels in playlists on or off any time, while
  channels everywhere else stay clickable.
  - Stays out of your way: no ads, no banners, no setup, no
  slowdowns.
  
  Privacy first: no tracking, no analytics, no accounts, nothing
  about you ever leaves your browser. Free and open source.

  Watch Later, suggested videos, and other lists.
  - Optional: during a live stream, turn on clickable names in chat
  so you can open someone's channel in a new browser tab without
  leaving the stream. This is off until you switch it on.
  - Spend less time searching for channels you've already watched.
  - You're in control: switches in the toolbar let you turn
  clickable channels in playlists on or off any time (other lists
  stay clickable), and live stream chat linking stays off until you
  choose it.

  YouTube sometimes shows a video's channel name as plain text inside
  video lists (e.g. on the History page and on the watch page sidebar).
  This extension turns those channel names back into clickable links so
  you can open the channel page in one click.
  
  It works with the latest yt-lockup-view-model layout as well as
  older ytd-video-renderer and ytd-compact-video-renderer layouts.
  
  No analytics. No tracking. No data leaves your browser.
