Vinegar - Tube Cleaner

Great. However, it stopped working altogether in ios 17.1 on an iphone. The controls don’t appear and ads keep appearing. Turning off the extension and on again fixes the issue

Unfortunately i cannot used it Any more. From some time when you are scrolling for videos. The video that is in front will start autoplay above the page and you cannot stop or Close it.

While the idea is great, in practice I’ve seen quite a few problems that stop me from using it often, not sure how many of them are related to iOS/iPadOS, Safari or the app itself but I’ll list them below in the hopes that they might be addressed: - Noticed slow down while watching YouTube in picture-in-picture with this extension but the same slowdown is not present if using the app with the premium subscription or Twitch in pip - Videos stop after 1 hour, not sure why but about one hour after watching a video it crashes - For live stream it doesn’t show live, it seems to take the current length of the live stream as the max and them set the current as (max - 1 hour). Example: live stream up for 5:30 hours, when I open the stream the current time is shown as 4:30 and max shows up as -1:00 - An email address where suggestions could be sent would be welcomed :) More info: - iPad Pro 2018 11’, these reproduce on various iOS version, this review was written on iPadOS 16.2 - The vast majority of time I watch live streams on YouTube so maybe this case hasn’t been tested

One more thing. If it's doable, please add an option so that videos can start playing in full screen. Thanks.

The extension is great, since it lets you skip by double pressing and the picture in picture works as well. However, I think there are few points that are a bit annoying: 1. Playback speed resets to 1x when changing the video 2. You can’t browse for new videos except for the related ones without stopping the video which is currently playing

Finally, I can see YouTube subtitles in Safari (Fullscreen/PiP). *Not sure if this is possible with a third party app, but my only wish would be more subtitle controls: 1. The ability to disable the fade-in effect for subtitles. Most of the dramas on youtube, their subtitles are poorly timed. They just popup and disappear in a blink. And with the fade-in effect, it makes it worse. 2. It would also be great to be able to offset subtitles or add a 1-second tail or more. The less the subtitle gaps the better, it gives people ample amount of time to completely read them. I hope this is possible with Vinegar. 🙏 Thank you!

A year or so ago I tried Vinegar and loved it but uninstalled due to incompatibility with SponsorBlock. Now it works just fine and auto-skips as configured. Thank you for making this

I was hoping this app would provide a way to play videos in the background like Android phones do where the phone screen times out and just the audio plays or where you can swipe up and send Safari into the floating island and have the audio only play there but so far I can’t play audio in the background this way, just picture-in-picture mode like the app. A suggestion for the developer to make this app really special would be to allow users to swipe up and play video audio only in the floating dynamic island. YouTube ads are blocked like the app description says as of the time of my review.

I primarily use vinegar so I can listen to audiobooks on YouTube without constant adbreaks. It works as advertised. No regrets.
