### 2/5 — Look elsewhere now

*2026-06-16*

Looks like this still works on some sites. It doesn’t do anything on others, but at least it’s better than breaking sites entirely like it does on ESPN.

### 4/5 — Not work for every website.

*2026-04-24*

I tried using the this extension on Safari, and it doesn’t always work as expected, especially on iPad. Some websites just won’t change video player with it and the extension does nothing at all. It seems like iPad video players have stricter rules, which makes the extension struggle or completely fail on certain sites. Overall, it was a bit disappointing for me.

### 4/5 — Bro please add subtitle support

*2026-04-16, version 1.2.0*

It's almost perfect

### 4/5 — Please update

*2026-02-19*

Needs an update

### 2/5 — If lots of websites are broken in Safari…

*2025-09-11*

Especially things like not being able to click on things on websites, and more complex sites just freezing or nothing interactive working well.

I love Vinegar, and it works great.  For ages Safari was unstable - being new to macOS I just thought that was why no one used Safari.

One day I decided to increase the restrictions on the few extensions I had in Safari and everything started to work much better.

I did go through my other extensions (I had a Dark Theme and popular Safari Tweaker which were my main culprits (trying not to name the innocent, until proven guilty here).  But as I re-enabled them in isolation, one by one, it was only Baking Soda that caused the issues.

I was shocked, but I’ve disabled it now until there is an update at some point (doesn’t seem to get many going by the version history) - and things still work okay (if a little too dark, but that’s another review for another App)….

### 3/5 — Add Keybinds to toggle fullscreen and mute like shortcuts

*2024-11-22*

I really find difficult to use cursor to move and click on these tiny UI, a customizable keybind would be helpful that works for both baking soda and vinegar

### 2/5 — Stopped working

*2024-10-26*

It was working fine but lately it either doesn’t activate or if you try to disable it doesn’t disable until you disable the extension itself. In essence its unusable especially since its not actually working when it’s active and all permissions granted.

### 2/5 — Not really what I was looking for!

*2024-10-15*

I was so thrilled when I found out that this extension exists but I did not now that it does not let you change the video resolution like vinegar, if the developer is reading this please add that feature to Baking Soda too! I am fed up with safari because it does not let me change the video quality on most websites natively, I love Vinegar but this app just did not do it for me.

### 4/5 — Fantastic but needs subtitles

*2024-09-02*

This is a fantastic app that does exactly as it says. The issue is that there is no subtitle option. It would be great if the extension can detect if a video has subtitles and then be able to display them.

### 4/5 — Can be improved

*2024-06-23*

Love the concept and the app but it does not work on every site for some reason;
 I’m not sure if it’s the website blocking it or if baking soda simply doesn’t work on this site but every time I try to use it on lookmovie2 . to the extension does not show any controls whatsoever and I’m forced to turn it off for the site🥲

### 3/5 — Why accessing my passwords and credit cards?

*2024-03-22*

Great extension, but when I go to Safari Extensions settings it says that Baking Soda can access "sensitive information from webpages, including passwords, phone numbers, and credit cards." Now, why is that the case? I might delete the extension just because of this odd permission.

### 5/5 — 6 out of 5

*2024-01-22*

Wonderful, thanks so much. Now, PLEASE, I beg of you, give us a fine slider for playback speed. So many bingable series benefit from just a little adjustment, imho. thank you again, it's an incredible, lovely product. Well done.

### 2/5 — Iffy

*2024-01-18*

Doesn’t work very well on iPhone unfortunately. Auto is broken and the video repeats same 5sec over and over for some videos

### 1/5 — Obsolete app. Think before you buy !!

*2026-02-12*

does not work on facebook. Not even maintained. Think before you buy !!

### 1/5 — No

*2025-10-06*

This app can see your all data and password your crypto keys but its say no data collected on app store

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2025-07-27*

The app doesn’t work on any video I play on any website. There also doesn’t seem to be an easy way to contact the developer. His other app, Vinegar, is great and works great.

### 1/5 — Non-Functional

*2025-03-04*

It either does not activate for videos, despite permissions being given for all websites permanently, or it renders any video to a black screen without the ability to watch it.

### 1/5 — 적용이 아예 안 됩니다

*2025-02-09*

돈만 날린 꼴이네요 구려요

### 1/5 — Läuft nicht mehr..

*2025-02-03*

Leider läuft das Bundle seit einigen Wochen überhaupt nicht mehr. Ich überarbeite diese Rezension, wenn die Apps wieder funktionieren.

### 1/5 — Breaks websites

*2024-11-17, version 1.1.9*

Causes Amazon photos not to display

### 1/5 — Doesn’t do what it claims.

*2023-11-12*

I purchased Baking Soda as I much prefer the native Safari web player to many website’s native players. To put it bluntly, it doesn’t work. I tried it on aniwave (formerly 9anime) which is the main website that I needed this for, and it did not change a thing. I have also tried it on other streaming sites, to no avail.

### 1/5 — Scam

*2023-08-14*

I bought for watching twitch like above, but it doesnt work

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2023-06-30*

Crashes on quite a few websites (such as the History streaming website) disappointed

### 5/5 — Bestimmt echt gut für andere Video Seiten

*2026-08-09*

Geil

### 5/5 — Brilliant!

*2025-12-27*

Thank you :)

### 5/5 — Bingo

*2025-03-01, version 1.1.11*

Love it

### 5/5 — TOP

*2024-12-30*

More apps like this pls

### 5/5 — Essential Safari Extension

*2024-08-21*

An essential safari extension for browing the web these days. Once enabled in the safari extension options, it makes all videos html only - which saves battery and prevents ads from getting in the way. it also makes many sites work with Airplay that otherwise just do not work.

### 5/5 — Great app, please add this

*2024-03-29*

Great app as title says. I don’t have a mastodon account so requesting this here:
Please add support for using baking soda when previewing YouTube videos in the safari app, as safari still seems to be using the default YouTube player as I am still receiving ads. By previewing I mean the page you land on when clicking on the thumbnail of a YouTube video in safari.

### 5/5 — Works good

*2024-03-08, version 1.1.8*

Just in the last 2 days it has been turning itself off for YouTube. The slider in extension settings keeps reverting to off.

Love it though.

### 5/5 — Works great

*2024-02-02*

It would be awesome if there was an option to only use the native video in player in fullscreen

Other than that, it works great

### 5/5 — Impossibly Great Deal

*2024-01-30*

I would have paid more for this.  It is undeniably a great deal, and a no-compromise solution to removing janky video players from web pages!

### 5/5 — Works great on Bilibili

*2024-01-30*

thank you for developing this app!
