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.)

Vinegar works like a charm

5/5 stars. No words needed.

Update

2024 - only 360p quality of videos from YouTube,👎👎👎

THANK YOU

YES.

it’s becoming less and less functional

it keeps getting increasingly worse. now I have to reload the page multiple times before the player loads and sometimes even close the browser. sometimes nothing will work and I just have to give up.

Thanks And a Dinosaur...

...for making YouTube less crappy this year. Using only Vinegar after many stress tests, it seems that the problems I reported earlier are less common. But three in particular are really annoying when they occur: 1) The audio of the video is not synchronised, this happens during playback after it freezes for a moment. 2) There are no video controls, you can only tap the video to pause it and tap it to play it. 3) Ads are played and after they finish sometimes you can watch the video, in other cases I am stuck with the video of the ad. In all three cases, the only thing to do is to reload the page. In conclusion, Happy New Year! =)

Doesn't circumvent YouTube's adblock check

(Review as of 12/16/23) I bought this app in the hopes it would be able to fool the new Youtube adblock embargo but it does nothing. Hopefully devs will manage to find a workaround soon.

In love with this App but…

Since October 2023 I'm having problems with YouTube, sometimes it's slow to load the newly opened video, other times it seems that playback stops at the moment when the advertisement should appear. Have you noticed these problems too? Will you be working on an update? Thank you!

I downloaded just to have more than 720p but..

It doesn’t work.

Exactly what I needed

Simply and effective, does what it promises. Using it to see YouTube video PIP or with screen off

Pretty good

Return Dislike Button still doesn't work and still remain some problems with SponsorBlock that automatically skipping on video. Now in mobile YouTube the button to change the resolution of the video is too close to the YouTube button and sometimes it seems that the resolution button is not taking input from the touchscreen.
