When you install Minitube, all you have is a desktop client with a large search box. Type in your search term and Minitube will suggest some predictions for you to try. Results are returned instantly and you can view videos normally as you would in YouTube.
There are many features such as: Take video snapshots at full resolution, fullscreen mode with mouse cusor, toolbar and playlist autohide, channel subscriptions without using a YouTube account, compact mode with small and always-on-top windows, find missing parts of a multipart video, editable playlist with drag & drop and remove videos, copy YouTube link to clipboard,.......
There's not much more to it than that though. There's no way to view comments and there's no way to download clips which would have been a welcome add-on to the interface. The idea is to create a more TV like experience but YouTube is different to TV and you cannot help but feel is takes away functionality from the site. I also experienced frequent freezing and hanging while watching videos.
