Summary

The article discusses Apple's gradual merging of iOS and macOS features, specifically focusing on Safari video controls. It references Craig Federighi's 2018 denial of merging the two operating systems and contrasts it with current reality where macOS Safari increasingly adopts iOS-like behaviors. The author, representing Underpass App Company, mentions their Safari extension 'StopTheMadness Pro' which includes a feature to restore native video controls on websites like YouTube, suggesting this is necessary due to Apple's convergence approach.
