Watch all of the videos - but none of the ads! (...even on sites which block adblockers)

OpenVideo creates a safe space on every video playing webpage - ideal for streaming sites bloated with ads and malware!

OpenVideo comes with its own video player, which has some pretty cool features: ► adds player hotkeys (eg. 'f' for fullscreen) ► download button for every video ► add subtitles easily from hard drive or url ► starts video where you left ► theatre mode and picture-in-picture mode

And on the most common streaming sites the OpenVideo player will be embedded automatically.

Also there is a built in video search engine (doesn't overwrite your default search engine) and a library where you can manage your video history and your playlists.
