YouTube™ for TV

Allows https://youtube.com/tv to load YouTube™ TV App from regular browser

What is YouTube™ for TV?

The 'YouTube™ for TV' element provides users with access to the YouTube for TV App, also known as YouTube Leanback, from a regular browser. This aids the user by enabling the app’s remote control function through a secondary device running the YouTube app. Even though access has been restricted on certain devices since 2019, this extension combats this issue. However, it’s important to note that there is no direct endorsement or affiliation with YouTube.

Summary

Analyze keywords

This extension allows you to access Youtube for TV App, also known as Youtube Leanback.

This version of Youtube is very useful because it allows remote control via a tablet or smartphone running the YouTube app.

On OCT/02/2019, access began to be restricted on several non-whitelisted devices, including Desktops and Macs. Two days later I found the solution that resulted in this extension.

You just need to install it and access https://www.youtube.com/tv

OPENS AD IN A NEW TAB...again and again. I was watching YouTube when it suddenly it gave me an ad for porn. DO NOT INSTALL THIS AS IT ALSO REQUESTS YOUR BROWSING HISTORY.
