4Ktube for Safari

Workaround for 4K YouTube videos

YouTube does not support 4K playback in Safari for Mac. This extension shows a 4K badge in the toolbar if a YouTube video you watch offers quality higher than 1080p. Click the toolbar icon to open the video in another web browser and enjoy it in full 4K glory.

I often watch tech videos and reviews on YouTube in Safari. More than a few times I thought – “Hey, I wonder if this video is in 4K. That would be nice”. Then I open it in Chrome and sure, some of them are 4K and you wouldn’t even know. Mind you, I don’t have a 4K TV, but these videos look sharper and more detailed on any Mac with Retina display. That’s how I came up with this extension for Safari on Mac. It lets you know if a YouTube video has quality higher than 1080p and shows a badge in the toolbar. Then you can click to open the page in another web browser or media player that does support VP9 video codec (that is – any major browser, except for Safari). Bonus Feature: click to open *any* page in another browser. Useful when developing sites or dealing with pages that don’t work well in Safari.

It gently dims background windows so I can concentrate on the task in front of me without distractions. I didn’t realize how much mental clutter came from other open apps until I tried this. It’s lightweight, smooth, and perfectly integrates with my workflow, especially useful when writing, reading, or coding. Simple idea, brilliantly executed. Highly recommended for anyone who wants a cleaner, more mindful desktop experience.

Great application, very useful to reduce the visual noise and improve the focus on the currently selected application. Personally find it very useful for doing my university work and programming, as well as performing browser research without and distractions.

Excellent app! It's saved me hours on distractions. One thing I wish that it had is a blur feature in addition to darkening, but that's a minor gripe and I love it anyways! According to the in-app statistics, it's dimmed windows for me for 250 hours.
