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
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
Oog yes
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.
That's a great idea!
Fantastic!
Oh oh I wish this was available for Safari too
