- Rated 3 out of 5by Barrett Ray, 2 months agoNice extension. Docked a couple stars because the guideline to capitalize replacement titles like "a sentence" is ridiculous and looks horrible.
Please add an option to convert _only_ the replacement titles into "Title Case." Otherwise, normal titles containing phrases like "ABC" or "NASA" become "Abc" and "Nasa."
On the other hand, an option to make Title Case only affect lowercase words would be great.
Happy to send in a PR. Just let me know.Developer response
posted 2 months agoSubmitting a title in "sentence" form is explicitly for those cases. Also, "NASA" is on the list of allowed all caps words so should not be modified by the formatter.
If the title is formatted as a sentence, and some words are proper nouns, the extension will know not to force those to be lower case if someone chooses the sentence case option. If everyone submitted titles as "Title Case", then the extension would not know which words to leave with a capital and which not to for those that prefer sentence-like casing.
I think what you're looking for is a separate formatting option for original titles and submitted titles, which at the moment is not an option implemented - Rated 3 out of 5by MaxL, 2 months agoI like it in theory, but I am really, really, really not a huge fan of American English title case being enforced across all titles, even non-English ones (despite the setting that claims to not do this). I strongly believe the default setting should a conversion to sentence case.

posted 2 months agoYou should be able to change the title formatting option to sentence case. For people with browser languages that are not english, it defaults to sentence case instead of title case for this reason. - Rated 3 out of 5by expertmax, 5 months agoI had to modify the source code to get the plugin to work without the paywall.
The introduction page says to click on the button at the bottom of the page to activate the extension for free (I don't want to pay) but there is no button to be found. There is the before/after image and that's about it.Developer response

You can email me for further help dev @ ajay.app - Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 15007095, a year agoUnfortunately it conflicts with "BlockTube", which is number 2 priority addon for me for youtube (3 is being SponsorBlock), so i have to disable it for now. But otherwise it's pretty good so far.

I think i mostly have the default settings, but to be fair, its kind of a little buggy addon by itself, and i never found any better alternative.
It did work ok 3-4 days before that (ignoring the thumbnail and general lag), but after that some videos just suddenly stopped playing altogether, and other ones break mid-play, and disabling "dearrow" instantly stopped all of it.Developer response
posted a year agoInteresting, it shouldn't. Are there specific settings you have enabled in BlockTube that conflict?
Edit: oh that's a separate issue, but that should be fixed now
