This makes YouTube an infinitely better user experience! I really appreciate the lack of visual clutter all the loud thumbnails cause especially. It does make my subscriptions & home page load a little more slowly, but that's well worth it in my opinion.

For some channels I'm subscribed to (like crochet/craft channels), I found I missed the thumbnails because those show the finished craft product, thankfully it was easy to whitelist those.

I did also change the default thumbnail replacement from "random" to "auto-generated by YouTube", which led to less awkward half-blink faces in my feed.

Once activated, the extension immediately worked on all my devices where I'm logged in to Firefox, and I was able to re-use the activation code on a shared family device where I am not logged in on my Firefox account. Overall, a great experience and well worth the 1 euro.

Best extension and dollar spent, truly amazing

doesn't work, random thumbnails are showing up completely unchanged. shame that this extension used to work and is now utterly broken

Nice 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.

Loved this one. I recommend to everyone to use this extension to save yourself from clickbats thumbnail

omg all the video thumbnails just flicker non stop and slows/freezes the whole browser

Paid extension? I am not buying anything!

EDIT: Is it donationware? I will test it, maybe I can make a contribution.

I 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.

Incredible work by the same creator as SponsorBlock. I feel such a hatred towards clickbait because I know what I'm interested in, and I will click on those videos but I hate it when I feel the rug has been pulled from me (even though my investment may only be a minute). Also, it's difficult to re-find a video when the video isn't just titled what it's about.

Ajay is the person to do this correct. Ignore the 1 star reviews they're by people who don't want to pay $1 (single time donation) even though you can just not pay, but do pay and let this important service have a chance of surviving.

Ajay, you should set up a Patreon or something tho, SponsorBlock has a huge number of users and I really want to see this and that be around long term.

The idea is quite nice! Giving some method of controlling clickbait is a good idea, the issue is that the "community" contributing these titles are pedantic nerds. (I say this as a pedantic nerd myself.)

Completely fine titles are being replaced with weirdly specific descriptions, take for example this XKCD Video title:

"What if everyone jumped at once?"
is replaced by:
"What if everyone was magically teleported to the same place on earth, then all jumped at once?"

This doesnt add _anything_ other then make the title three times as long and more confusing. Its also addressed that "everyone in the same place" is meant when jumping within literally the first frame of the video.

So while its a good plugin in itself, due to reliance on Crowdsource, its absolutely not anything you can daily drive.

Super cool idea for an extension. Some reviews are ragging on it for it being (optionally) paid, which is kind of silly. Dude has made YouTube much, much more bearable. He deserves your dollar.

Love this addon and SponsorBlock! You don't need to pay for it but I did anyway because I really appreciate the work the dev is doing to improve YouTube and save my mental health from OTT clickbait. This addon works great and I'm glad that it takes community submissions to help make the extension even better and get better video coverage! Thanks Ajay!

Really good app. I can't consume Youtube without it. The price is only 1$ which I assume covers server costs for queries while you are browsing
