Summary

This extension allows you to access Youtube for TV App, also known as Youtube Leanback.

This version of Youtube is very useful because it allows remote control via a tablet or smartphone running the YouTube app.

On OCT/02/2019, access began to be restricted on several non-whitelisted devices, including Desktops and Macs. Two days later I found the solution that resulted in this extension.

You just need to install it and access https://www.youtube.com/tv.
