This is awesome. Just installed it.
Wo a new extension worthy of installation, the last time that happened was a years ago, Channel Blocker. Feels like an ongoing battle with yt, to make it viewable to a human rather than it's own bots.

I went to install it but realised it's already among the 30 or so extensions I have to make the web bearable. Does that happen to anyone else?

Crowdsourced?
Would be nice to get a random frame of the video instead of the actual thumbnail..
That's what it does if there's no crowdsourced thumbnail.

I just thought about giving it a try then remembered that 99.9% of my time on YT is through the Android app (ReVanced to be precise) and TV (YT AdFree on LG TV)

clickbait no more
Doesn’t it really matter if the title is click baity if the content is worth watching. It generates revenue for the content creator so I feel like I’d rather them have what works than a cleaner title.
On firefox youtube videos take a long time to load, they'll play for a bit and then buffer. Without this extension youtube works fine on chrome. I guess this extension is in beta stage, needs to be polished more.
Considering it's from the same person behind sponsorblock, I'm positive future updates will fix this issue..
Edit: Seems I was using old version, just updated the extension as developer said they'd fixed the above issue in new version. So far so good, now videos are playing fine on firefox..
Brilliant
But this will make me stop clicking on 6 different videos before I find one I like... Where's the fun in that?
Good thing I can already use uBlock to remove the jumpscare that is "verified badges."
I use this extension, clickbait remover for youtube. Does it's job perfectly well!
