4Ktube Extension Overview
What is 4Ktube Extension? 4Ktube Extension is a Safari extension that allows users to watch YouTube videos in 4K quality by opening them in another web browser that supports the necessary video codecs. The extension shows a 4K badge in the Safari toolbar if a video offers quality higher than 1080p. Users can click the toolbar button to open the video in another browser and enjoy it in full 4K resolution. The app also allows users to open any page in another browser and skip current video ads. The app is compatible with Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge, Opera, and other apps. Users do not need a 4K TV or monitor to benefit from the app, as most modern MacBook and iMac models have a native resolution higher than 1080p. The app can be downloaded and installed easily, and users can select which browser they want to open links in. The app preferences can be customized to set default behaviors.
1. 4Ktube Extension shows a 4K badge in Safari toolbar if a YouTube video you’re watching offers quality higher than 1080p.

It works!
I only use it for you tube. So I hope it's not reading my passwords and info for all the websites I log into.
DO NOT BUY THIS ZERO STARS!!!
So basically all this app does is put a putton in your tool bar that takes whatever video you're currently watching and puts it into a Chrome window. So if you're competent enough to copy paste a link, you're simply wasting your money. This would be worth it if it was free.
Does what it says on the tin
It's a small convenience, but it's appreciated. Thanks!
Great job
I just learned this was an issue... and I just learned there was a solution.... And I just used this to solve the issue as best as I can. Works well! Thanks
It works
I especially liked how the developer explained in other reviews why it needs the permissions it does.
