Softonic review

Watch YouTube videos in separate windows

DetachVideo is a lightweight application that, when running, allows you to pop out windows for YouTube and other sites' video content.

When the mouse cursor is over a video, hitting F12 (this can be changed) pops the video into its own window. The size is dependent on the original source - DetachVideo can't resize video unfortunately.

The pop-out window is set to always be on top of other windows, so you can have a video playing while you work on something else without losing sight of it.

It is a little buggy, and doesn't work on all video sites, like Vimeo, for example, and if you navigate away from the source page, you'll lose the video, which is a pain. DetachVideo is a tiny .EXE file, which needs no installation, and can be run from a USB portable drive without problems.

DetachVideo is a pretty cool idea, though it needs a little work to become the finished article. It works perfectly with YouTube, so it's certainly useful.

  • Cons

    • Doesn't work well with all web-video

    • Have to keep original page open!

Softonic

In Softonic we scan all the files hosted on our platform to assess and avoid any potential harm for your device. Our team performs checks each time a new file is uploaded and periodically reviews files to confirm or update their status. This comprehensive process allows us to set a status for any downloadable file as follows:

Clean

It’s extremely likely that this software program is clean.

What does this mean?

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.

Flag any particular issues you may encounter and Softonic will address those concerns as soon as possible.
