One of the new features introduced by Apple in iOS 15 is the ability to add extensions to your native Safari browser. These are small applications developed by third parties that add new functions and functionality to the Apple browser.
And an example of an extension that can be very useful to us is “The vinegar“(The vinegar). This application for Safari replaces the YouTube player with one written in HTML which brings a series of very important improvements, like the PiP reading (picture in picture). For the little that it costs, this worth installing.
The truth is that playing YouTube videos from Safari it’s a fairly straightforward experience, without a lot of options to choose from. And YouTube’s own app isn’t exactly crazy.
Fortunately, starting with iOS 15, we have the option of adding extensions to our Safari browser. The truth is, there isn’t much to choose from, but little by little developers are adapting their extensions from other browsers so that they can be installed in Apple’s native browser.
And we just discovered a new extension which is very interesting. It’s called “Vinegar”, vinegar in English, and the truth is, we don’t know why it’s called that. The point is that this is a small application for the Safari of iOS, iPadOS and macOS whose function is to replace the reader. Youtube
Once installed in your Safari, provides a series of substantial improvements when it comes to playing YouTube videos from the browser. Eliminate ads, prevent YouTube from tracking your activities, turn on PiP, videos won’t cut if you change tabs, and you can choose to play audio only, among other things.
You can install the “Vinegar” extension from the App Store by $ 1.99. Available for Safari on your Mac, iPhone and iPad.
