Vinegar - Tube Cleaner 4+

Better video player

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.

Wonderful extension that perhaps can be improved

This is a wonderful life improving app for anyone who uses youtube and I recommend it wholeheaetedly for anyone hesitating on the purchase.

I do however have a points to add which could be better or added.

1. Bug?/improvement
When a video launches there is a moment where it seems the the video will start playing, but then it flashes black a few times and then starta playing. As I imagine this is the video player changing the video resolution (I might be wrong), but the experience would much improve if the video would rather shower a loading spinning wheel rather than flash a few times because it makes it look janky. I’m not even sure if this is possible to do, but I thought to point it out.

2. Feature/improvememt request
When switching the video playback speed to any of the faster speeds the audio becomes quite robotic and tinny sounding. This is a problem even with the native video player and the problem persists on other browser only the native youtube app provides good quality sped up audio. I am wondering if it is possible with the new player to remedy this and improve on the sped up audio quality. Maybe it could be a separate extension, I would be willing to pay for an improved experience with sped audio in youtube.

Thank you for your excellent work! This extension has improved my quality of life immensely!
