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)

I'd expect the ReVanced team to add this as a patch soon, seems very cool

Brilliant
On firefox youtube videos take a long time to load, they'll play for a bit and then buffer. Without this extension youtube works fine on chrome. I guess this extension is in beta stage, needs to be polished more.
Considering it's from the same person behind sponsorblock, I'm positive future updates will fix this issue..
Edit: Seems I was using old version, just updated the extension as developer said they'd fixed the above issue in new version. So far so good, now videos are playing fine on firefox..
I use this extension, clickbait remover for youtube. Does it's job perfectly well!

Good thing I can already use uBlock to remove the jumpscare that is "verified badges."
But this will make me stop clicking on 6 different videos before I find one I like... Where's the fun in that?
clickbait no more
Maybe a feature request, but is there an addon that just blocks videos with shitty thumbnails or all caps? Might make the front page almost presentable.
If this extension could just hide those videos as an option, or at least flag them it might make browsing better.

This guy is doing God's work 🙌
nice, good to see an adblocker for clickbaits
This feels like, IMHO, trying to put out a forest fire with a single bucket of water. Instead, we should have a platform that does not encourage making titles and thumbnails completely unrelated to the video's content.

I think i'm okay with NewPipeXSponsorBlock or Freetube, but for straight up YouTube, this is good stuff.
