- Rated 5 out of 5by Erwan, a year agoJ'adore ce module
Meme si mes abo ne sont pas sur des trucs idiots l'appli me permet par exemple de ne pas être spoilé sur des réac de manga.
Il faudra cependant que de plus en plus d'utilisateurs s'en servent pour que une grosse majorité du contenu soit "modéré" sur les titres, en espérant qu'il n'y ait pas "d"abus" (on vous voit entre autre les wokes qui n'avez aucune tolérance d'esprit et qui veulent tout censurer ou manipuler). - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15254806, a year agoSponsorBlock and DeArrow enhance the YouTube experience like never before.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Сырное, a year agoThis extension is paid and requests $1. The problem with the payment is that the database won't be complete for YouTube. There is a trial period of 6 hours, which only confirms the incompleteness of the database..

By the way, you can use it for free by clicking the "I don't want to pay" button. A majority of people do this - Rated 5 out of 5by slideglide, a year agoAwesome extension, I've been using it for a while and it gives a better feel in YouTube.

- Rated 5 out of 5by lsdkgjlfkgjldfkgl, a year agoEdit: fixed by reinstalling the extension, it apparently "somehow corrupted itself". Works fine now.
Currently seems broken. I see no titles or thumbnails whatsoever with this extension, even the videos that haven't been "dearrowed" just have a blank title and a gray thumbnail. No amount of waiting seems to load them so I have to disable the extension for now. Hopefully this gets fixed soon, when it works it's very good. - Rated 1 out of 5by hecatebbb, a year agoRenaming clickbait titles is a good idea, but in practice too many perfectly fine titles are changed to something stupid for no reason. I can't think of a good way to fix this, so I'm going to stop using DeArrow.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 17635639, a year agoIn Korea, there are a lot of fake video titles, almost all of which are different from the main content (especially news), but these extension don't change anything.
Honestly, if you were to filter out Korean videos that routinely lure users with more than 100 fake titles per minute, this extension would probably be installed by default on all browsers in Korea lol - Rated 4 out of 5by Micca, a year agoReally cool add-on but it consistently makes youtube load slower, and sometimes not at all. Hopefully server side stuff gets solved soon.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15275508, a year agoIt's much easier to see if a video is worth your time with this add-on.
Even if there is no crowdsourced descriptive title, this add-on will fix ALL CAPS and replace the thumbnail with a screenshot from the actual video. Very nice for those videos where the thumbnail looks cool but the video is just a talking head.
If you don't wanna pay, just say so on the website and you'll get a free key, the only price is that you have to wait a few days. As a poor person I really appreciate this! - Rated 3 out of 5by expertmax, a year agoI had to modify the source code to get the plugin to work without the paywall.
The introduction page says to click on the button at the bottom of the page to activate the extension for free (I don't want to pay) but there is no button to be found. There is the before/after image and that's about it.Developer response

Here's an image of where the button is: https://ibb.co/r7ZfwnB - Rated 4 out of 5by nvlsti, a year agoHave been using for some time in Chrome on my work PC, now trying out also on Firefox at home. I actually really like how the add-on works. I see no slow-downs or glitches.
Some people are commenting that the descriptive titles tend to "spoil" the video but in my opinion this is exactly the point. You can always switch off the default replacements and then you only see the "dearrowed" description after clicking on the blue button.
The one issue I have is that since actual work of replacing clickbaits with descriptions is crowsourced, this extension needs more people using it. And I think for many people the short free trial is off-putting and they won't even bother to click "I don't want to pay" before uninstalling the whole thing. (I paid btw)
I think it would be glorious if the DeArrow functionality was eventually included in SponsorBlock which has a much bigger user base. - Rated 5 out of 5by pro, a year ago
- Rated 2 out of 5by Aesara, a year agoA good idea in theory, in practice it's used by geeks who: a) don't watch videos with clickbait titles, and b) will rename titles with practically no effect other than saying "I was here". DeArrow titles often make me more annoyed than clickbait titles do because of how frivolous the userbase is.
