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 - Tube Cleaner App Comments & Reviews

Vinegar - Tube Cleaner Positive Reviews

Excellent, but selecting quality is a painThis app is EXCELLENT! A must-buy. I like the new “Best” quality selector but I wish that I could set the quality I want for the network type. For example, I’d like to stream 720p on metered network like 5G/4GLTE, but stream Best quality on Wi-Fi. If it’s possible to read network state and change settings based on that, my cell phone bill would appreciate it!.Version: 2.4.2

Great stuff, butThe only thing I would like to change about this is the ability to either pause and play with the controls on the Lock Screen, or the pull down menu once I close the app on the Home Screen. Both of these options to pause and play the music are either available or disappear completely sometimes. Also in a playlist, you must refresh the page to pause and play in the background, which has the same inconsistencies above of course..Version: 2.6.6

Developer doing their best against YT’s actionsThe developer is active in their efforts to provide the best experience possible. The constant changing of YT’s tactics, make it very difficult to provide a seamless experience. Current issue is that I use my iPad and audio only, when the video hits a ‘break’, the vinegar/safari forgets the audio only and starts to show the video, or pauses totally, until I interact with the browser. I know it can be fixed eventually and am patiently waiting..Version: 2.6.11

Thank you, Dinosaur!This simple extension is a life changer for me. I rarely used YT because of the ads, as I felt constant advertising was hurting me, mentally, so I ran away from it. Vinegar took me back to when I used to listen to album after album on YT, without interruptions, without aggressive marketing and garbage advertisment. So for that, thank you Dinosaur :D As everything else, things can get improved to cater to people's wishes, but for me this is fine the way it is..Version: 2.3.8

Almost perfect nowI had a few complaints but with the latest version I'm almost completely happy with it both on iOS and macOS. Well done and thank you for completely changing my YT experience for the better! I have two nice-to-have feature requests: the ability to switch quality in theater mode on macOS, and an option to allow me to seek /-15 secs with the keyboard shortcuts instead of 5 secs..Version: 2.2.2

Wonderful app, one big bugWell worth the $. Absolutely perfect with two exceptions: 1) Major problem: The space bar sometimes doesn't pause the video. It pauses for a split second and then resumes. I can't figure out what triggers it (but it's not the key repeat rate). Other videos don't have this problem. 2) Minor problem: If the desired resolution in settings isn't available, it switches to Auto instead of to the nearest resolution. For example, if 4K is chosen in settings, it shoudl chose HD instead of Auto if 4K isn't availble..Version: 2.0.3

Great with only some slight annoyancesVinegar works great and provides a great alternative to YouTube’s absolutely insane and consumer unfriendly premium prices. The only real complaint I have with Vinegar is that if a video is buffering you often times cannot change the quality until the video loads which can sometimes cause a limbo state if your connection is poor at the time..Version: 3.0.6

Too annoyyinggI apologize for the extra letters, my keyboard is dyying (wwhwen it rains it pours) I had to uninstall vinegar for one simple reason, the developer fixes one buggg and releasses a neww update, rinse repeat. unfortunatel7yy you have to restart SSafari every time there is an updte and it is very annoyyying whwen you have manyyy tabs open.. i dont want to restart safari everyy y3 hours i wwnat to maybe do it once a wewek. i dont think that the updates are so critical that theyyyy cant wait for once a wweek... to the developer: i am not sso desperate for updates that i cant wait for a weeklyy update. having so many updates is veryy disruptive to my normal workfloww.. the dev says that i can turn off auto-update in the app store but that AFAIK is a global all app option.. not really a solution. wouldnt it be better for the dev to just release updates once a month?.Version: 2.0.5

Videos are in low resolutionUpdate 12/8 this issue is resolved and app is now supporting all resolutions. Rating changed to 5 stars. I’m not sure where is the problem but most videos are in low resolution and will not show anything more than 720p. Regardless of what I have in a settings (auto or 1080p) max is 720p which is very disappointing..Version: 2.0.1

Solid StartIt's super nice for what it does. Clean, elegant, and easy. Not supporting higher resolutions than 1080 is tough in 2021. Not to mention the lack of HDR. If your viewing is 1080 or less, snag this and be thrilled. If you haven't figured out a different way to kill the most annoying ads on the internet, snag this, too. If, however, you want something like this with higher resolution support, buy it now and ask for the support! Either way, support the mission!.Version: 1.2.1

Issues with compatibility and generally buggyOften times the ability to airplay videos doesn’t show up, regardless of selecting airplay compatibility mode. Additionally, videos will often play for about two seconds, then stop and replay from the beginning multiple times. The app does do well at blocking ads, but at some significant cost of native functionality that makes the apple ecosystem desirable..Version: 2.4.2

Give theater mode viewing option.At the top left corner, there is option for full-screen view, also offer a theater view mode option. However, there are times when I don't necessarily want the full-screen but prefer the wide-view provided by "theater mode". It would be convenient to have that option placed next to the full-screen button for easier switching..Version: 3.0.1

10/10 would recommend to a friendVery good for what it does! The three dots are for video playback speed- which for some users (like me) is very important. The replacement UI is much better for touch, and allows videos on websites to be actually usable. Keyboard shortcuts have been introduced to the app, so now for me this app is perfect..Version: 2.0.1

It doesn’t automatically select the highest video qualityI like this extension. I hate watching videos in lowest quality. While using this app I found out, If it doesn’t have 1080p option then it goes to auto and the video plays in 360p. It doesn’t automatically select 720p. And also If you can please make it support 60fps..Version: 2.1.4

Really solidIt’s amazing how long Vinegar has been able to battle against whatever updates YT makes to the mobile websites and the ads. Occasionally I’ll notice the video player acting odd (controls disappear, can’t maximize the video, etc.) BUT that’s not on the dev, that’s YT freaking out. The dev is always updating Vinegar and Baking Soda. Awesome app..Version: 3.0.2

Video Player often crashes when rotating videoWhen I rotate my phone in safari when in fullscreen video, the video will frequently start over. Also, if you immediately put the video into PiP, and then attempt to use the coward 15 second or backward 15 second buttons, without previously having touched that video player, the video frequently crashes and restarts..Version: 2.2.4

Works great for background playbackThis extension does exactly what I would expect and reliably enables background playback, the only thing that would make this app better would be an option to set default playback speed, I wish I could always play videos at 1.5x speed..Version: 3.0.1

Wonderful extensionAbsolutely wonderful extension that does what no other seemingly can. Videos play back so much better with no issues or interruptions. The only things I’d like to see added and the reason for 4 stars, when swiping down from full screen playback pauses, and there is no theater mode. Still a Must have extension IMO..Version: 2.1.3

Background playSeems like everything works but when I turn the screen off it stops playing. This is suppose to allow it keep playing right? I tried on mobile and requesting desktop site. How do?.Version: 2.5.9

It used to work...Until a few months ago was working as you would expect, sometimes there was some wait but at least there was no ADS. After a few updates I have now 2 icons but it seems uncapable to block the ads, I suppose Google managed to make the life hard for this kind of extensions, I have to say tough that the AdBlock on Edge works just fine..Version: 3.0.2

Skip track?App is great but it replaces the option to skip to the next video with skipping by 10 seconds instead, can you add an option to change this? It makes skipping songs a bit annoying.Version: 3.1.4

Slowly becoming more trouble than it’s worthI really loved using this over the years, but lately the last couple of months it seems like it’s hardly working anymore. It used to not work here and there but it’s been more often than not these days. Growing tired of having videos not play then having to disable the extension all the time 🤷‍♂️.Version: 3.0.2

Works Great Except for One Thing...Seems totally fine other than the volume resets, I perhaps when automatically switching quality. So if I crank down the volume on something it will, without intaction, suddenly go back to regular volume. Look forward to a fix!.Version: 2.4.1

The most important feature of allIs a responsive and skilled developer. Thank you for being that, and for TRYING, and then succeeding! This is an awesome app. The problem is never bugs. The problem is ignoring them. You didn't, and for that I'm grateful. Also, love the app!.Version: 2.0.2

Enable Extension in Settings and BrowserI missed to enable the extension while in the safari app (not just in settings!), can you please add that to the instructions? As someone who’s never used an extension before this would be helpful. After this the app works as promised, thanks!.Version: 2.3.9

Good at what it doesThis works for what it does and the lack of higher than 1080p support isn't a deal breaker. However, it updates far too often—which is only an annoyance because to update, you have to quit Safari. I suppose there's no way for it to update wihtout restarting Safari, but being asked to close safari for updates is annoying to me..Version: 2.0.3

Great extensionWorks as expected. A few small tweaks it could use are changing quality while in theater mode and giving the option to not pause videos when leaving full screen.Version: 2.2.1

Extremely good appJust a good old fashion app that actually improves my life, does what it says and works well. I would like to see more config options and the ability to allow an advanced feature to inject cstom CSS and JS (if this is possible, Apple may not allow it IDK the policy).Version: 2.4.1

Hotkeys ?Great app but is there a place to find the hotkeys ? Sometimes I accidentally mute or speed up a video and it'll retain the settings for each video that plays subsequently and I can't figure out how to revert the original playback settings.Version: 2.4.1

Love it! Only missing a couple of things.This is an amazing extension. It enables the ability to do picture-in-picture on macOS, which is a god-send. It would be near-perfect if added support for 4K resolutions and also the ability to selectively disable it for certain videos. Otherwise, great job!.Version: 1.2.1

When it works it’s greatAs the title says, when it works this app is great. However sometimes this app doesn’t work and gets stuck on “loading” so it defaults to 360p. Also for some reason I’m unable to block comments now as I used to.Version: 2.5.3

Buggy when running audio through BTI love this app, and want to stay in love with it but I continue to have issues when running audio through Bluetooth. Specifically, when using my steropair of homepods as my audio source for my M1Pro MBP. Have the latest version installed and it seems to get choppy or drop to one channel after about a minute or two of playing. To test this being a mac issue vs app issue, I disabled the intigration and the issue was gone. Once re-enabled it came back after a few videos played. Willing to help troubleshoot some more if needed, just let me know what you need on my end..Version: 2.1.4

No longer works iOS 18Update: As of Jan 22nd the app functions normally again!! Used to work, but was a bit clunky. Still waiting for developer to update iPhone version of this app. Frustrating!!.Version: 3.1.0

Great Tech SupportI had some questions regarding Vinegar after the latest update. Zhenyi was VERY prompt and responsive to my questions and was able to problem solve successfully an issue I had with the App..Version: 2.8.2

Saves my SanityThank you for making the Fizzy Water extenstions. They work great and I love that you're so responsive when platforms update their shenanigans. These great little extensions have improved my quality of life and reduced frustrations!.Version: 2.7.4

Broken most of the time (but improved by updates)Update 1: The extension has improved over time with updates. Still many sharp edges and bugs, but certainly better than it was before recent updates. Keep up the good work! Original: Not sure if this is Google breaking the site so often, but to be honest, I don’t really care. The extension does not provide what it promises. Often, experience is broken, requiring at least one refresh until options show up, videos with aspect ratio other than 16:9 are broken to the point of unusable, etc. Not recommended at this point..Version: 2.2.3

It's great, but can be betterEverything is on point except for the native volume settings. Basically the video player does not remember the volume level and resets it to a default volume (~60%ish) for every video..Version: 2.1.4

ExcellentOne of the few extensions I'm gonna keep. 4K works perfectly in the last update. Would be nice to be able to switch quality when in full screen..Version: 2.0.0

Videos default to mute audioGreat product, but ever since the last update, videos have started defaulting to mute audio every time I start a new video. Videos will also sometimes revert back to mute audio in the middle of watching..Version: 3.1.5

Thank you for adding SponsorBlock supportA 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.Version: 3.1.4

I ACTUALLY works!Nice job! It’s quite magical when a dev drops something that does what it says and for a reasonable price. To the users: consider supporting your favorite YouTubers in other ways if you choose to block ads!.Version: 2.1.1

Essential ExtensionBeen using Vinegar for a few years. Does what it says: native controls and no ads. I do hope the developer is able to bring back AirPlay compatibility..Version: 3.1.0

Works beautifullyWorks on my phone just fine. It isn’t perfect and rarely doesn’t load but a quick page refresh fixes it. Very neat extension!.Version: 3.0.5

Pretty goodThe only way I know of to get rid of the incredibly annoying "more videos" overlay in embedded youtube videos on Safari. Would be excellent if the dev would map "skip 10 seconds forward/backward" on the left and right arrows..Version: 1.2.1

Really buggy. Have to baby itI was hopeful about this app but it doesn't work great most of the time. Firstly, no HDR or 4K. But that aside I sometimes have to reload the page several times before the video plays. Even when it is playing it often just stops and even a couple reloads doesn't fix it. The pain of it all isn't worth it at the moment..Version: 1.2.1

Appreciate its existence but very buggyLook, this is a great tool for Safari as I much prefer the Apple player over the Youtube one. Still, it's unfortunate that the plugin is filled to the brim with bugs in its current state. A couple examples: - Sometimes the player controls don't show up at all - Sometimes speeding up the video doesn't work - Half the time the video playback stops between the 30-40 second mark and needs to be reloaded - Many more minor glitches.Version: 2.9.3

Makes YouTube on iOS usableGreat app..Version: 2.4.2

Amazing extension. Possible to default to highest quality?My videos are always 720p and I have to change.Version: 2.4.2

Great app with one potential change that would make it near perfect.Simple and straightforward to use while enhancing YouTube experience on Safari. However, the way YouTube shorts are handled, could be greatly improved on. The shorts resolution could match that of the native Youtube app, since Vinegar can do 4K on regular videos. Also the video player on shorts seems conflicted, showing the Apple native video player, as well as YouTube’s video player. If this is improved upon, I will give a full 5-star rating..Version: 3.0.2

Daily updatesThanks for the extension, but please stop releasing updates so frequently. It forces us to constantly quit/restart Safari which isn't convenient. Bundle them up into less frequent updates. For our sanity!.Version: 2.8.4

Very goodIt’s really good, but please add the function of auto subtitles.Version: 3.0.5

DelightfulThis app does everything it is supposed to. It's got some quirks and problems, but it's just one guy developer and it still does an insanely valueble job that Big Tech Video Site refuses to do..Version: 3.0.2

Great work, but needs AirPlay fixes.I know this is not something that’s necessarily easy to test if you lack the hardware or just even mind to test at all, but a video playing through AirPlay will only stream audio, not video. Through AirPlay it thinks it’s an audio stream for some reason. The video keeps playing normally on the phone screen..Version: 2.7.7

Great App. One suggestionThe App works as advertised. It would simplify usage if the Close command (x) where to be added next to maximize and minimize commands. I wrote the above yesterday and the Developer response was from a year ago! ?.Version: 3.0.1

Love this extensionSo happy how this works on MacOS and iOS.Version: 2.7.7

Good app but some bugs need to be fixedGood app but there are some bugs that haven’t been fixed in a while. Video pauses and loads for a while when you first start it. Clicking time stamps doesn’t work and causes the video to restart. Video doesn’t pickup from where you last left off like it’s supposed to and instead starts from the beginning..Version: 2.7.7

Great but missing timestamps resumeIt’s great but there is a bug. It can’t resume from the last timestamp. When the page first load the video player start for a split second at where I left the video. But then it refreshes and start the video over from the beginning. It’s annoying for long podcast. Is it a known bug? I am happy to provide debug logs or anything to help for that and change my review score. Edit: Leaving the quality to auto fix the issue somehow..Version: 2.7.7

Great!I was on a mision to thwat a certain Ad Blocker blocker.... Mission Accomplished! Max Resolution seems to be 1080p, however this is a minor set back! I commend the developer. A couple tiny suggestions: -Try to hide the original player when the page loads initially. Currently the ad will flicker momentarily before the Vinegar player loads. Perhaps draw a black rectangle over the ad and then have the Vinegar player fade in from black over top of that when it loads. -Round Rect the corners to closer match the original Youtube player. Thank you..Version: 2.9.3

Great App but need one more function!Even the regular website youtube can have a more detailed playspeed adjustment like 1.75x. Vineager however, only have 1.5 and 2.0x speed. Please consider add a more detail speed adjustment control either in extension setting or in the bottom right speed control dropdown! many thanks!.Version: 2.7.7

Needs some more featuresI am very happy with this extension, but there are a few missing features I would like to point out, the first one being the lack of an end screen. The second one is the lack of playing clips. Overall, this is a good app. Just needs some more features..Version: 2.9.3

Features that should be added for completeness- Platback speed: Fast forwarding/Slow playback - integration with video chapters - quick toggle without entering safari extensions to disable the plugin. - download option or save video option - Airplay integration - Captions with caption settings - internal user feedback, directly within extension..Version: 2.8.6

It works - most of the timeHad it occasionally stop working for me but seems to be fixed now. There are free apps that do the same..Version: 2.4.2

Well Worth It!Has worked great for me! One little nitpick I've noticed, is that I noticed it doesn't let me jump around using the 'Chapters', and auto-playing from a Watch Later playlist means I just need to hit refresh to move onto the next video. But those are just nitpicky suggestions..Version: 2.8.0

Good appMakes YouTube a lot better, it would be nice if it would auto rotate when you go into full screen.Version: 2.5.6

The only app that actually fixes YouTube!Vinegar is amazing! It blocks ads, restores 1080p, restores pip, and lets you play audio in the background!.Version: 2.5.6

BeautifulLooks great, as videos should on a Mac. Theater mode, replay, and loop buttons are only available if the quality selection black bar is enabled. Would be nicer to have them accessible from the extension icon like the quality selection is. The quality selection black bar appears above thumbnails even though they aren't really needed there at all..Version: 2.4.1

Great, one suggestion that would make it perfect (to me)Awesome extension, does exactly what it says and with no fuss. Would be perfect if you were able to set a default quality level when using cellular data (even integrating it with a Siri shortcut/automation would be awesome if possible) Thanks!!.Version: 2.4.2

Play YouTube with Screen lockedI love this extension, could not live without. Well worth the money..Version: 2.4.2

Almost perfect !The app works as described, its a video player for youtube that blocs ads! Would love to be able to double tap to fast forward 15 sec instead of clicking the button :).Version: 2.3.9

Amazing!This makes YouTube in safari the best, please never stop supporting it devs! It’s beautiful!.Version: 2.4.2

Lovely (when it works)The app works most of the time. Thanks to several quick updates, most functionality and bugs keep being fixed. I do get several pages reloading issue though (and video pausing/not able to fast forward at times - all on YouTube). Would there be a way to add 0.75 to playback speed? I do use this a lot for language learning. All in all, I love this app..Version: 2.0.7

Great!It is working well with 4K and HDR. I wish there is an option that I can move the top toolbar to the bottom of the player..Version: 2.3.2

It does the exact feature I wanted:- Playing in PIP mode; - Playing in background, and especially audio mode (yay). As for the ad blocker feature, I don’t mind it at all as it is useful to contribute to pay the content creators..Version: 2.1.4

Great, Minimal, Works as intendedThis is one of the few apps that does the job perfectly with a very minimalistic approach, no extra garbage. Works on both my iPad and iPhone. And I like the audio only feature, also the easy controls to change resolution. For ad blocking I use Adblock plus, they work great together..Version: 2.0.1

4K finally added for iPad Pro :)Excellent product.Version: 2.0.1

Nice, minimal YouTube extensionNo extra garbage. It does just what it should. Allows easy switching of resolution and even offers an audio only option! Other reviewers mention lack of 4K support, but this isn’t the fault of the extension; youtube uses their own codec for 4K..Version: 1.2.1

It works but…Very often YouTube video thumbnails just don’t work and I have to keep poking at them over and over to go to that video. When I disable vinegar, everything is fine, except the incessant ads of course!.Version: 1.2.1

Wow!!It works!! Thank you very very much :).Version: 1.2.1

So worth the moneyJust buy it you won’t regret.Version: 1.2.1
