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 keeps videos playing in the background.
Note: The "can read information from webpages" text in the permission section is just unfortunate wording. Vinegar needs access to the web page to find the YouTube player and replace it. It's not doing anything creepy!
(By the way, check out Vinegar's companion app, Baking Soda. It's basically a less powerful version of Vinegar, but it works on all websites other than YouTube.)
What’s New
Version 3.1.1
- Extract now ignores AI-generated dubs when selecting the audio track.
Ratings and Reviews
Very useful & good but could be better
This solves the problem & works well, however the issue I have is that the gestures are non standard. It surely should emulate what it’s replacing.
It’s almost impossible to do the 2 finger spread to go full screen without it fast forwarding the video as well, it doesn’t support pinch to go back to the normal display, instead swipe down does this but for some bizarre reason it also pauses the video.
I’ve knocked off a star because of these puzzling deficiencies, but I’m still very grateful for what it does. I hope it can be standardized at some point though & then it would be perfect.
Clean Extension with Slight Performance Issuse
Dear Developer, the extension is just what I am looking for, however, on multiple devices now, I have experienced sudden "blackouts" during playback, as well as play-pause issues (space bar; mouse; touch controls etc.) in which the video either does not play/pause properly as intended or skips ahead when coming back to the tab (from another).
Other than that, the Fizzy Water Bundle is defiently one of my favourite extensions out there.
Great app to avoid YT ads
However, with the latest YT layout changes I'm facing a couple of issue: 1-) on Safari iPhone, the video is quite fidgety to press on the full screen icon. 2-) on MacOs SAfari, I still can't see the theatre mode button even after upgrading to Vinegar 2.5.4
Edit: after I submitted my comment, I decided to restart Safari on both devices (iPhone and macOS) and now Vinegar is work well again! I recommend people to upgrade to Vinegar 2.5.4 and restart Safari to make sure you pick the update properly while watching YT.
