YouView: Instant Access to YouTube from Your Desktop
YouView is a free Mac program developed by Mr Gecko's Media that provides instant access to YouTube from your desktop. With a simple interface and fast video playback, it offers a convenient alternative to using a web browser.
Upon opening the program, you are greeted with different categories such as "Most Viewed," "Most Linked," and "Most Discussed" on the left side, and the corresponding videos in the main window. YouView displays the top ten results for each category, allowing you to easily browse through popular videos. When you click on a video, it opens in an external video box, and HD videos are displayed in stunning quality by default.
One advantage of YouView is its speed and efficiency compared to using YouTube in a browser. It consumes less processing power and supports full-screen viewing, providing a seamless video-watching experience. However, it does have some limitations. You cannot see the comments on videos, and downloading videos is not possible.
Overall, YouView is an excellent option for those who prefer not to use a browser for viewing YouTube and only want to access the most popular videos of the day. It offers a simple and convenient way to enjoy YouTube content directly from your desktop.
