Also this week, we'll continue featuring the best extensions for Apple's Safari web browser. This time we will introduce you to four tools that you will certainly use when watching media content, whether on YouTube or Netflix.

PiPifier for picture in picture

While on YouTube, for example, it's no problem to start watching videos in Picture-in-Picture mode (just right-click on the video, then right-click again somewhere else in the video window and choose Start Picture-in-Picture), on other servers it can sometimes be a problem. Fortunately, there is an extension available for Safari called PiPifier. Thanks to this extension, you can also watch videos from Safari-type websites in Picture-in-Picture mode.

Shut Up: Comment Blocker for YouTube without comments

Discussions (not only) under videos on YouTube may not always be beneficial or pleasant. Thanks to the extension called Shut Up, you can effectively hide the comments section not only on YouTube. In the settings of this extension, you can easily set which websites should display comments. You can easily hide or display the comments section on individual pages by clicking on the bubble icon next to the address bar.

Turn Off the Lights for a cinema-like atmosphere

With the help of the Turn Off the Lights extension, you can darken the entire webpage except for the video window, making it much more enjoyable for you to watch the selected content. You can activate the extension easily and quickly by clicking on the lamp icon. When activated, the window with the playing video will be highlighted, while the rest of the page will "go out". Click again to return to the normal view. Turn Off the Lights offers rich customization options not only for the YouTube website, support for keyboard shortcuts, more options for how to display the videos being played, and other features.

Accelerate to control playback speed

Accelerate is a fully customizable extension with which you can easily and effectively control the playback speed of video content in the Safari browser. The extension offers hotkey support, Picture-in-Picture support, AirPlay support, and works with the vast majority of websites that play videos. In the Accelerate setting, you can customize other playback preferences in addition to the speed.
