SurfTube - A New Ultra Fast YouTube Browser for Linux

[z970]

Good news everyone!

I've devised a new YouTube browser very similar to TenFiveTube called SurfTube, which is essentially just the Surf browser specially configured for YouTube usage, then packaged into a graphically launchable format.



TenFiveTube has met its match; but unlike TenFiveTube, SurfTube on a 2GHz G5 can stream 720p HD video flawlessly in full screen (below image is not the full screen).



Installers for Ubuntu 14.04+ and Debian 8+ are available in The PowerPC Linux Wiki under the Software sector. Give it a shot, even on Intel!

This is the first time I've ever seen a 2GHz G5 stream 720p HD video flawlessly in full screen.

SurfTube was put together on Ubuntu 16.04, and is untested on anything else at the moment. The installer is available here, and on The PowerPC Linux Thread at the very end of the Software sector. Give it a shot.

That's interesting! I will try it on my old computer (runs Lubuntu, but it's not a PowerPC...)... Look promising!
