Is this available as a vanced patch aswell?

[–] Metalbird@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Not yet, but hoping it is in the future. Also did just check because Sponsorblock from the same dev is available.

Crowdsourced?

Would be nice to get a random frame of the video instead of the actual thumbnail..

Marques Brownlee was that guy fervently saying the Samsung S22 fake moon filter wasn't a fake moon filter. What a shill.

Can vouch this extension is amazing. I started using it when it had 200 chrome downloads and it was already had many prominent creators in its database.

Title and thumbnail replacements are based on community votes, just like sponsorblock.

I have dearrow and I like it. I also installed Unhook, which "hides YouTube related videos, comments, shorts tab, suggestions wall, homepage recommendations, trending, and other distractions".

The real engineering original is basically spot on.

Wo a new extension worthy of installation, the last time that happened was a years ago, Channel Blocker. Feels like an ongoing battle with yt, to make it viewable to a human rather than it's own bots.

This is awesome, installing it right now.

[–] RobotToaster@infosec.pub 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I went to install it but realised it's already among the 30 or so extensions I have to make the web bearable. Does that happen to anyone else?

This sounds like a nice addon, sadly most of my YT consumption is done from my Nvidia Shield TV with STN, so I still get those annoying thumbnails I think (I have them in my home screen and that's where I watch them or add them to the list to watch later within the Shield menu).

I just thought about giving it a try then remembered that 99.9% of my time on YT is through the Android app (ReVanced to be precise) and TV (YT AdFree on LG TV)
