Baking Soda is a Safari extension for iPhone that serves as a tube cleaner by replacing custom video players (excluding YouTube) with a minimal HTML video tag. This utility and tool application, developed by And a Dinosaur, is designed to enhance your video streaming experience.

Compared to its counterpart, Vinegar, Baking Soda offers a more basic functionality. It does not block ads or provide the option to switch video quality. However, if Baking Soda does not work on certain websites, you can easily disable it in the settings.

It's important to note that the permission section mentioning "can read and alter webpages" might be misleading. Baking Soda requires access to web pages to identify video players and replace them, without any malicious intent.

Overall, Baking Soda - Tube Cleaner is a straightforward Safari extension that simplifies video playback by utilizing a minimalistic approach.
