Frequently Asked Questions

How do I set up yt2brave?

After installing yt2brave from the Mac App Store, launch the app and grant the necessary permissions when prompted. The app will appear in your menu bar and automatically start monitoring Safari for YouTube links.

Which browsers are supported?

yt2brave supports Brave Browser, Google Chrome, and Microsoft Edge.

Why do I need to grant permissions?

yt2brave needs Apple Events permission to read Safari tab URLs and open links in your chosen browser. This permission is essential for the app to function and is used only for redirection purposes.

How does the pricing work?

yt2brave is available as a one-time purchase through the Mac App Store, providing unlimited redirections and all features.

The app is not working. What should I do?

First, ensure you have granted the necessary permissions in System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Privacy > Automation. Also verify that your target browser is installed and up to date.

Can I use yt2brave with other browsers besides Safari?

Currently, yt2brave only monitors Safari for YouTube links. The app redirects these links from your favorite browser to Brave Browser.

How do I uninstall yt2brave?

You can uninstall yt2brave like any other Mac App Store app: find it in your Applications folder or Launchpad, then drag it to the Trash or right-click and select "Move to Trash".
