What is Vinegar?
Vinegar is a Safari extension that replaces the YouTube player with a minimal HTML video tag.
It removes ads, restores the picture, and keeps videos playing in the background.
Note: The text "can read information from webpages" is just unfortunate wording. Vinegar needs access to webpages to locate and replace the YouTube player. It doesn’t do anything creepy!
