Fullifier is an Action extension for Safari that lets you play every HTML5 (thats about every web video on iOS) video in the native iOS fullscreen video player. With this you get native scrubbing, the various skip functions and more you love about the system video player. Never struggle with annoying video players on the web again. If you have an HTML5 video playing on any website like Youtube just press Run Fullifier in Safari's Share Menu to enable native fullscreen for this video.
