Baking Soda - Tube Cleaner 4+

Great but have to turn off to set quality

It works exactly as intended and allows support PiP and background play, but on some sites that have quality selectors I have to turn it off to select quality and then turn it back on.

Missing Features, Otherwise instant buy

Great app. Only thing I dislike is some keyboard shortcut down work. I use ">" and "<" relgiously to control playback speed.

Also entering full screen changes the players UI, I personally perfer the non-fullscreen UI with the scrubber at the bottom so pausing videos doesnt have UI element pop up that blocks the view.

These features are pretty useful for watching lectures, which is a huge strenght of this app. All my lectures use wild in house video players with different UI, controls, etc. across the various platoforms (Mediasite, Zoom, etc.). I highly recommend this if you often have to deal with these technology deficiencies like I do as a med student

Must have

Really great app and worth the cost, makes using safari on iOS much less frustrating. It would be nice if the developer had an excluded list option for certain urls so they could function normally. For example, the New York Times home page is often overlayed with videos and gifs and this extension forces some of them to play through the iOS video player (I definitely preferred the default for that site). Not a deal breaker, just a suggested improvement.

Edit - the developer response is correct and the app option that is described fixed my issue. 5 star extension for safari.

Developer Response ,

You can disable Baking Soda on certain websites.

Tap the puzzle piece icon in Safari's address bar, then tap Baking Soda. There's an "Enable Baking Soda on" option.
