User Reviews for Vinegar - Tube Cleaner
Issues with compatibility and generally buggy
Often 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.
too annoyyingg
i 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?
10/10 would recommend to a friend
Very 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.
Video Player often crashes when rotating video
When 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.
Was amazing up until about a month ago
I will change my stars back to five is this ever gets fixed, but as of now, its pretty impoosible to use across all platforms (MacOS, iOS, iPadOS) Weird thing is that each device does something else. All devices have the same issues in full screen mode where when the video file updates, it will shrink to the wondow size or theater size, almost all the time the video will stop working at some random reload point. Also, in MacOS it wont load the next video on a playlist.I've been using this app for over a year now with zero issues. But now its to annoyingly broken that I cant really use it at all. I hope this gets fixed soon. I know they are trying, but with every update there are either new issues or old one resurface. I do appricate the effort they have been putting in. I'm sure this is difficult to maintain with the constant changes and hurdles they have to go through.
Almost perfect now
I 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.
Doesn’t automatically pick best quality.
EDIT: Dev fixed issue and added best quality optionLike the top review mentions and I just learned myself, if I choose 1080p for what quality I want and a video only supports 720p max, instead of choosing the obvious 720p highest I would want it chooses the lowest 360p instead. So I figure if I choose the Auto option it’ll just pick the highest whatever it happens to be. Nope still 360p. Making this app almost completely useless it doesn’t do it’s one job.
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.
Great stuff, but
The 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.
Wonderful app, one big bug
Well 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.
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.
