RSStreams for YouTube 作者： Florin Ungur

RSStreams finds every RSS/Atom feed reachable from the YouTube page you're on, and copies the one you want with a click.

YouTube still publishes RSS feeds, but it hides most of them. The default channel feed mixes in every Short. The long-form-only, Shorts-only, and Live-only feeds exist but aren't linked anywhere, and per-playlist feeds need a hand-built URL. RSStreams surfaces all of them.

What you get

Open any channel, handle, video, or playlist page, click the toolbar icon, and the popup lists:

• All uploads – the channel's default feed
• Videos (long-form only) – no Shorts
• Shorts only
• Live only
• One row per public playlist on the channel

Each row has a Copy button. Paste the URL into your feed reader and you're subscribed – no Google account, no leaving YouTube, no pasting URLs into a separate web tool.

Why long-form-only matters

Subscribing to a channel's default RSS feed pulls every Short alongside real videos. The long-form feed fixes that, but YouTube doesn't show it to you. RSStreams does.

Privacy

RSStreams collects nothing, has no analytics, and contains no remote code. It reads a YouTube page only when you click the icon, and the only network request it makes is to YouTube itself, to list a channel's public playlists. Nothing is sent to me or any third party. Full policy: PRIVACY.md

Permissions

Access to youtube.com (it only works there), reading the page when you click the icon (scripting), and clipboard write (to copy a URL). Nothing else.
