awesome! It's available for firefox based browsers!

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.

Pretty useful

[-] MelonTheMan@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

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.

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

Fuck, this is awesome. Great idea!

Just like sponsor block this is only going to improve with time. Hopefully it gets integrated into revanced as well

And then there's that extension that puts Mr. Beast's signature clickbait grin on every thumbnail

[-] onichama@feddit.de 2 points 2 years ago

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.
