Vinegar - Tube Cleaner 4+

Better video player

And a Dinosaur

    • $2.99

Description

Vinegar is a Safari extension that replaces the YouTube player with a minimal HTML video tag.

It removes ads, restores picture-in-picture, and keeps videos playing in the background.

Note: The "can read information from webpages" text in the permission section is just unfortunate wording. Vinegar needs access to the web page to find the YouTube player and replace it. It's not doing anything creepy!

(By the way, check out Vinegar's companion app, Baking Soda. It's basically a less powerful version of Vinegar, but it works on all websites other than YouTube.)

What’s New

Version 3.0.2

Vinegar:
- Stop YouTube from taking back control of the video player.

Vinegar Extract:
- (iPhone-only) Removed the empty space above the video player when the toolbar is hidden.
- Updated icon size.

Incredible!

It works as advertised.

A note for the developer: sometimes I get video URLs with ‘#dialog’ at the end. Until that tag is manually deleted, attempting to play a video will refresh the page or go back to the previous page.

Great stuff

Been using this for ages now. Still a great extension. Works like a charm.
Also want to thank the dev for constant work and updates due to YouTube/google’s ever more aggressive attempts to cram as many ads into yr eyes as possible.

Overall great

The only complaint for my experience is that when click the full screen button it goes to portait mode instead of landscape “full” screen. Other than this, it works great.
