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

hey that's cool
Just like sponsor block this is only going to improve with time. Hopefully it gets integrated into revanced as well
Pretty useful
This extension is awesome thank you
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for posting about this extension! It's a very welcomed addition to make YouTube more bearable.
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.

awesome! It's available for firefox based browsers!

Fuck, this is awesome. Great idea!
And then there's that extension that puts Mr. Beast's signature clickbait grin on every thumbnail
Yooo that's so cool! I'm already using SponsorBlock for in-video stuff, uBlock Origin for the around the video stuff, and a Thumbnail remover (can't recall the name rn). But I think this is even better, because just the first or middle frame of a video isn't exactly capturing the essence of that video.
Clickbait remover uses YouTube’s auto generated ones, which while are seemingly random, are not. They use some algorithm to target faces in exaggerated expressions.
DeArrwow uses actually random ones (and then a user can submit specific timestamps if there is a better one). It’s noticeable better on many channels imo. It also let's us do things like make sure the random thumbnail is not in a sponsor using SponsorBlock data
(I made DeArrow)
