Vinegar - Tube Cleaner - Reviews, Revenue and Downloads - Apple App Store

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.)

Must have app for safari youtube

This is a never ending fight between dev and google. Thank for all your hard work dev🙌

Unstable app

1. Background play stops when safari tab group is changed and backed to homescreen. 2. Background play randomly stops whenever it wants and crashes other important apps.

Youtube automatically closes or quality settings pops up

Its an amazing app but when i google some thing and when i click the search results it redirects to youtube but soon as the video starts to play its reverted to the former page. Sometimes when i try and play the video in YouTube the quality settings pop up and regardless of refreshing the page the setting pops up. Your help on this would be highly appreciated

request

please add a way to crop to fullscreen widescreen support in the next update

Works like a charm

Little fiddly to get started, but ad free YouTube is a sweet sweet thing. My request to the developer, please create something like this for the Apple TV, it’s a gold mine waiting to be explored!

How to adjust quality?

How do we adjust video quality??

Addon Not triggering each time I open youtube...

I need to refresh the youtube page for the addon to work. Else regular youtube player is loading. Its happening frequently, and after the youtube update. Any suggestions please. And please reduce the price of History Book addon a bit. I want to buy it

Good, except two issues

First issue is picture-in-picture button sometimes freezes. I have to make the video full screen and then click pip button. Second issue is YouTube comments can’t be scrolled in the first go. I have to open the comments section twice to scroll down. If both these issues are fixed, this is a 5 star app. It is a less resource intensive and privacy friendly way to watch YouTube.

Totally amazing extension , worth every cent !!!

It is an amazing extension and I would recommend everyone who uses YouTube on safari in iPad to use this extension because YouTube’s original player is just bad. However I would request the developers to add a few things :- 1. Please add the option of 1.75x in playback options. 2. And to set a specific speed as default , like 1.75x for all the videos on YouTube ( please please add this ) , just like the video quality. 3. And please add the MiniPlayer option ( the option which allows to play the currently playing video in a mini player to browse YouTube). I would look forward to the reply from developers. And keep up the amazing work.

Great but buggy

The adblocking and background playback+pip works great, but the quality selector is broken. Often the button does not work, and even if occasionally it shows 1080p, the video is clearly 360p.
