## Overview

This is a small Python desktop WebView wrapper that opens YouTube, exposes a JavaScript-to-Python bridge for alerts and URI navigation, and persists page cookies by domain. The sampled source shows the launch, navigation, and cookie behavior; the HTML asset’s role is not established by the excerpts.

Main entry points: [`app.py`](https://github.com/solid29081/youtubeforwindows/blob/main/app.py) (WebView launcher), [`cookies`](https://github.com/solid29081/youtubeforwindows/tree/main/cookies) (Cookie files)
