Red Crow For Safari

Hide Shorts completely, skip sponsors, force your quality, and reshape YouTube with 150+ settings. Native to Safari on Mac, iPhone and iPad. Private by design.

Red Crow transforms YouTube in Safari. Hide Shorts completely, skip sponsors, control playback speed, and reshape the whole page with more than 150 settings. Works on iPhone, iPad, and Mac.

HOW IT WORKS Install the extension, open any video, and everything works automatically with sensible defaults. Open the settings panel right on the page to customize every detail, or use quick presets to apply popular configurations in one click.
