While the tonvid default search engine is odd, users can just as easily enable the toolbar and enter the Youtube site address directly and use that. From there, users can right-click on videos or playlists and cue them up in SMPlayer. It's a very nice way to browse, though having to go to the site itself to access whole playlists is a bit sloppy.

  • The default "search engine /Tonvid/" has no TLS support, you search on plain 'http' through "somebody", (kind of spyware/supporter of it?)
  • The "browser" still supports RC4-MD5

Don't log in from this "browser" to anywhere you will regret it!
