DeArrow - Better Titles and Thumbnails on YouTube by Ajay (SponsorBlock)
188 reviews
- Rated 5 out of 5by Blake L, a year agoThis extension has a number of negative reviews which gave me some pause but knowing that the author penned 'SponsorBlock' gave me some trust. Reading those reviews it looks like they are primarily misconceptions due to not reading the description written by the extensions author. Keep in mind these two extensions are being written by a college student and this is a project he plans to continue developing outside of college.
The settings available give you a lot more control over your Youtube pages aesthetic by granting editing capability to the uniformity of each videos thumbnail and title. The different case types being options is a fantastic idea and I love having the ability to flip through the different settings and seeing how it makes me look at my home page differently. Great work, keep up the good development!! - Rated 5 out of 5by Livanskoy, a year ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Suitov, a year agoGood lord, the brain cells this has saved me already. I'm a cheap booger, but I fully endorse paying the optional $1 if you value your time, because this will save you so much of it.
To take one example from YouTube's recommendations: this extension's suggested titles change "The Cuphead RIP-OFF That Gets EVERYTHING Wrong" (exaggerated language, annoying all-caps, doesn't even name the game reviewed) into "Talking about Enchanted Portals and why it failed to live up to expectations" (names the game in question, summarises discussion, no sugar-fuelled screaming, could be made more concise).
It also changes the thumbnail to show the actual game under review instead of angry red-eyed Cuphead with the word "trash".
I'm neurodivergent and find clickbait language very annoying, and often just won't click on something if it seems deceptive or cagey about what the content will be. It actually causes me a non-zero degree of anxiety, and I don't like feeling manipulated like that. So this extension? Absolute game-changer. - Rated 5 out of 5by Mammut, a year ago

I am like a little kid, hooked easily on fraud thumbnails.
Now, I can finally see the accurate thumbnails!!!
Thank you, Ajay. - Rated 5 out of 5by Nyaa, a year agoI love the extension. The only negative thing is I've seen a few people use it to alter some people's transgender coming-out videos to have transphobic titles. What is the process to report/remove these titles when this (Or any harassment in general via title submissions) happen? I voted those titles down and they quickly get buried, but is there more that can be done?
Aside that, thank you very much for making this, YouTube gets very tiring when every video is a guessing game for what the video is actually about. - Rated 5 out of 5by mintparades, a year agoLove this extension. Absolutely don't regret paying for it. I use YT all the time and clickbait titles are becoming so infuriating to me. The crowdsourced title replacements are always accurate and easy to understand. I switched from Chrome to Firefox recently and I was able to seamlessly use the same product key to get it on my new choice of browser. Thank you!

posted a year agohey, could you email me at dev @ ajay.app since AMO only allows one reply.
Do you maybe have javascript disabled in your browser? It should work even in that case, but there was an issue like that in the past that looked like that. - Rated 5 out of 5by Kosro, a year ago

There was a misunderstanding - Rated 5 out of 5by Tre_brock, a year agoAmazing extention. Removed so much clickbait. Goes perfectly with sponsorblock and ublock origin. bought it for 2 or 3 bucks on my iphone a few months ago and lost my key after i moved to an andriod and the dev gave me a new one :).
- Rated 5 out of 5by Hayden, a year agoExactly what I have been looking for! Thank you Ajay for creating this extension. I use Youtube daily for work and hobbies: I find the click-baity titles vague, and the "shock face" thumbnails frustrating and gimmicky. 'DeArrow' addresses these issues in an elegant way. Very happy to purchase and support this extension
