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.)

Extract as in newer but inferior?

Vinegar Extract güncellemesinden sonra bozdu. Why’d you leave the adblocking to other apps?.. Besides, I’ve started encountering several bugs: the YouTube player controls not showing up at all despite renewing the page or deactivating then reactivating the extension etc. Please try to fix these ASAP…

Getting more slow

It was perfect when get into AppStore. Probably I was one of the first purchasers. However, after each update app getting more slower and deduct it’s options. Sorry but there is no way to compete with others in this way.

Excellent ext.

I'm enjoying my experience with it so far, aside from a few bugs (which I don't know where to report). If I had to make a suggestion it would be to move the video section a little further down on the Youtube video page, as when you disable to quality switcher toolbar the video looks to be a little too far up compared to the video recommendations list on the right.
Edit: I'm actually changing this review. While this extension is nice and Apple's video player is great, Youtube's video player has gotten a lot more muscular over the past few months, and now with being able to see the separate sections of a video and the most replayed parts of a video via the slider (at least in Chrome), this is not enough to convine me to switch. But I *am* looking forward to this extension getting those features as well, if possible (Apple's website's specific media player for their keynotes supports separating the slider by individual sections) but I don't know if Apple's exposing an API to that).
