fixing the youtube player

Take a look at Vinegar if you use Safari on MacOS or iOS.  Two bucks and it's been wonderful for the few days I've used it.

The benefits include:

• • The removal of in-video ads.
  • Prevent YouTube from tracking your play/pause/seek activities.
  • Restore picture-in-picture functionality.
  • The videos don’t stop playing if you switch to another browser tab.
  • You can choose the audio-only stream to keep the music playing when Safari is in the background.

Vinegar works on embedded YouTube videos on other websites, too. I will consider adding support for other video sites in the future.
