How does it work?

A Safari Extension can be used to modify a website's behavior, enhancing the user experience.

This app provides a Safari Extension that replaces the user interface controls of the video player when browsing YouTube's desktop website.

The enhanced player provides a better user experience, guided by the visionOS design language.

The extension utilizes common web standards to enable this experience.

No personal information is used and no modifications are made beyond the video player.
