PlayThru Player is a desktop video player with adjustable transparency setting that does not need a web browser to play YouTube videos.

If you think that SuperBrowser is an ordinary program, you are not entirely right. Our research team has found that this program could install a Chromium-based browser and browser extensions to promote certain services. If you trust this program, you might find yourself in unreliable sites, which can be very dangerous.
