MediaHint is available for Mac users via the Chrome and Firefox browser extensions. You may also configure your DNS settings to use MediaHint in Safari and other browsers.

IMPORTANT: Before you change your DNS settings to use MediaHint, please write down or save a screenshot of your current settings and server/IP addresses. This is very important if you need to revert back to them at any time. We also recommend you save this page or print it in case you have a problem during setup and need to refer to these instructions.
