‘Vinegar,’ is a Safari plugin that uses the HTML video player as a substitute to YouTube’s default video player on both YouTube.com and embedded YouTube videos hosted externally. With Vinegar, you can view a video on YouTube just like any other HTML video by substituting the YouTube video player with a simple HTML <video> tag.
This means no YouTube commercials, no user monitoring, Picture-in-Picture functionality (which was previously only accessible to Premium users), and the option to play YouTube in the background.
Vinegar is listed the ‘Utilities’ category on the App Store for $1.99 USD and is fully compatible with macOS, iOS, and iPadOS.
