About MUI

MUI is a browser-based viewer for YouTube videos. Users paste a YouTube URL or video ID into the site and select Watch, or change the domain of a YouTube link from "you" to "mui" to open the same video. The homepage describes the service as distraction-free YouTube.

An optional setup uses a userscript to redirect YouTube videos to MUI automatically. The homepage names a different browser extension for each browser: Userscripts for Safari on Mac, Tampermonkey for Chrome, and Violentmonkey for Firefox. The site offers a downloadable redirect script package with installation instructions. The homepage lists iOS, macOS, and web as platforms. Pricing is not stated.
