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.

Great BUT…

I don’t know why it doesn’t continue playing while I’m on the homescreen/lockscreen of my iPhone 13 mini (iOS 16.1.1). It works on my iPad mini 5th generation (15.7) though. Also, both their auto-play function does not work inside/outside Safari. Why is this? (just to clarify… what I meant by my phone not continuing to play is that it stops when I go to the homepage. I always have to swipe down (control center) then tap the play button COMPARED to the iPad that never stops. I simply just want my phone to do the same. Hope you could help, thank you. EDIT: Thank you so much! You rock!

Developer Response ,

The limitation you are experiencing is due to the restrictions on background playback on iOS. As a workaround, you can try setting the video quality to "Audio-only", which will allow the audio to continue playing even when the app is in the background.

Work perfectly on my iPad. On my iPhone not so

In my iPad, I can use it very well. I can do pip and select the video resolution I want. But for the iPhone, it just shows blank when I choose the always allow. Am I doing something wrong?

- edit Thanks for your response! Hopefully the update fixes the issue. I’ll add another star just because of you responding to my feedback. Please continue to be responsive to your users.

Hi, version 2.0.3 is out. Can you update and give it a try, and see if it fixes your issues?

It’s probably the best extension you’ll out there

I really enjoyed using this extension for most of the time but if only the menu bar (vid resolution selection) would work more stable it would be perfect. Sometimes it just disappears and i have to refresh the webpage so that the menu would show up again.

Edit:

Although there are little issues here and there, i really like the fact that the developer of this extension is responsive and in touch with his users.
