- Rated 4 out of 5by megaloo, 3 years agolove this extension, but i wish it would have a few more options on hiding the thumbnails. i.e blurred thumbnails but they appear if you hover, or the ability to change the thumbnails to a solid color. other than that, i can't complain, it's pretty much what i was looking for! keep up the good work!

posted 2 years agoThanks for all the feedback megaloo! Recent changes have added options that you can access via the extension settings panel. They don't do exactly what you've suggested here, but there are now options for blurring / showing on hover etc. :) - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 17658178, 3 years agoThis extension is useful but please add these features:
1. Blur thumbnail instead of hiding option
2. Show the video duration while blurring thumbnail
3. On/off keyboard shortcutDeveloper response
posted 3 years agoGlad you're finding it useful and thank you for your feedback! To track suggestions 1 and 2 I've created https://github.com/domdomegg/hideytthumbnails-extension/issues/7 and suggestion 3 is tracked in https://github.com/domdomegg/hideytthumbnails-extension/issues/2 - Rated 5 out of 5by Finn, 3 years agoThis is exactly the extension I was looking for. I watch a bunch of youtube channels & videos with "scary" content, but i tend to hate the thumbnails that go along with them (the clickbait-y trend for ~scary~ videos being what it is - "find the most disturbing visual & distort it into something even less pleasant to look at"), which makes it a slog to scroll through some of the channels i actually enjoy! thanks to the developer for making this add-on available, it works well & makes youtube a more accessible site to navigate. 5 stars

posted 3 years agoHey Finn, thanks for the stars and your detailed review - I really appreciate it! Glad this helps you watch "scary" content without the slog of having to scroll through channels with unpleasant thumbnails :) - Rated 5 out of 5by 454, 4 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by zopoyo, 4 years agoWay better than what i was expecting. Over the years, i have developed a bad habit of going to youtube when I get stuck on a tough problem or just unconsciously. I noticed that the thumbnails where a huge problem because they were the main reason for me picking a particular video. I wanted something like this to deprive my mind of the colorful thumbnails that it uses.

posted 3 years agoHi zopoyo, thank you for taking the time to write such a detailed review, it means a lot! Glad this has helped break the cycle of defaulting to browsing YouTube as a form of procrastinating on tough problems - and props to you for setting up systems in place to make yourself more effective! - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14721471, 4 years ago

posted 3 years agoThanks for the review and useful feedback. Some other users have suggested a toggle option so I'm looking into that. Tracking in https://github.com/domdomegg/hideytthumbnails-extension/issues/2 - Rated 5 out of 5by libre, 5 years agoDoes exactly what it says and shows on the screenshots. Man what a relief for the brain
