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 allows videos to play in the background when set to audio-only quality.

Note: The phrase 'can read and alter webpages' in the permissions section is just an unfortunate choice of words. Vinegar needs access to the webpage to find the YouTube player and replace it. It's not doing anything creepy!

(Also, do check out Vinegar's companion app, Baking Soda. It's essentially a less powerful version of Vinegar, but it works on all websites except YouTube.)

Just ok

jaichoiiiii on

It’s working fine on iOS devices, but not on my Mac’s. Another big issue to me is that no watch history saved in YouTube at all. Seems that it turned on the “ghost mode” while watching videos in safari. Have had several occasions where I thought i had new videos unwatched on my other non Apple devices but in fact they have been watched on my iPad. Kinda annoying.

No longer works

ScottIsMyNickname on

Great app. Just doesn’t work right now. Shows no toolbar or playback options. Just a floating video you can’t interact with. Now with ads

Great, consider forcing AV1

Great app, sometimes needs a reload - but consider adding the option to force AV1 to save battery on newer devices (A17, M3 and later)

Stopped Working

Looks like the folks at YouTube have finally found your measure? Wouldn’t be so bad if YouTube ads weren’t so darned long and with subjects like “Where to buy a comfortable bra”.

Great stuff

Jesse Fantastique on

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.

Thanks!

Thanks for putting in the work and keeping up with YouTube’s constantly-changing attempts to break Vinegar.

Great app until Google Blocked the Blocker

KhimairaCrypto on

Since YouTube stated blocking the blocker, the app does not work as expected any more in my macOS .

Doesn’t work

Unfortunately it doesn’t work for me at all. Followed the setup to a tee, but still had ads.

The best YouTube Adblock on the market

Adblock, magic lasso, ublock, … I’ve tried, and paid for all of them. None of them work as well as vinegar. Highly recommended.

Great App still in 2023

Sen-2020 on

I have been using this for few years now and working well even with it disables all the crazy youtube ad blocking warnings in 2023.
