## Vinegar 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 Reviews in New Zealand

### **--- "Stuck on first few seconds"
Every new Philip DeFranco video always ends up in a Fallback loop where only few seconds are repeated constantly. There is no way to recover beyond disabling the plug in. It's really frustrating. I can provide screen recording if needed
-- HEPBO3AH, 2024-05-08

### ***** "Full screen on rotation?"
Love the extension, it’s almost necessary with the amount of junk YouTube throws at you these days.

Feature request: is it possible to automatically go into full screen video if the phone is rotated from portrait to landscape?
-- blindM3ss, 2022-09-30

### ****- "Great, but buggy bugs"
Works great! But often will start a video then stop. Have to refresh page and hope it’s ready to roll second time. Doesn’t like going from portrait to landscape. But great apart from those things
-- ahhh dang, 2022-02-11

### ***** "Foxes YouTube"
I feel like I basically have no reason to get YouTube premium now. 

Only thing that needs fixing is the video has to restart if I put my phone in landscape after starting it in portrait
-- Annonymous123431, 2022-02-04

### ***** "Sooooo good."
Such a good alternative to paying for YouTube Premium, plus the traditional HTML video player is a lot nicer than YouTube’s interface. Thanks for this!
