Ajay knocks it out of the park again. I actually thought about this many years ago (user-sourced way to report/remove sponsors and fix titles), so it made me very happy to see this king actually went and did it.

I buy this for $1-$5 every time I install it. Apps that fight cringe, manipulative, and degenerate behavior from places like YouTube should be encouraged and supported.

I'll happily pay my fair share for good digital content, made by developers who I respect because they don't treat their customers... or even all consumers in general, like garbage.

I'm not sure why people are bitching about the option to pay. It asks for a dollar once (or more, if you'd like), and the option to decline and use it anyway is in plain view. I've used it for free as well, and I've never seen that message again. I genuinely feel like people are overlooking the button that says "download without paying" (or whatever the exact term is).

You don't need to pay for this app. If you don't, it never asks again — minus a non-intrusive line of text at the top of some pages that is microscopic in size.

If you are so crusty about paying for content that you won't contribute to honest and useful apps that deserve it, that's a "you" problem. Coming at the devs simply for showing the OPTION to pay (with an option to decline in plain view), is a "you being a dick" problem.

You sir, have my respect, and a few extra bucks. Happy to support this app, as well as any others that fight intrusive, over-corporatized, and annoying garbage online.

By all means, get for free all the mainstream apps riddled with ads and needless monthly subscriptions (modded, patched, or torrented or whatever). I will too, obviously, as should anyone who isn't wealthy or a moron.

BUT... That being said, when an app is actually worth your time, helpful, genuine, honest... All the things mainstream apps are not... I recommend paying for it. It's a dollar.

If people want things like adblock and sponsorblock to continue to exist in the future without being crushed by corporate overlords, throw the guys who make them a buck sometime. At the very least, don't whine and shit yourself because they had the audacity to ask. Fuck, man.

A great addon that de-clickbaits youtube. Only downside is that after using it for some time, you realise that most of what reaches the front page is just slop. I happily paid for DeArrow as it has made the youtube experience much better for filtering good content out of the slop.

Works great with English content however since it is crowdsourced when it's not popular in certain countries or certain languages it's really hard to find an usage. Still, a great extension for English YouTube videos.

Just miss a miscellaneous tab (like sponsorblock has) where we can ad other domains to use it (invidious). But works great with youtube.

YouTube is a steaming pile of crap unfit for human consumption without DeArrow and SponsorBlock (and uBlock Origin).

Ajay my man, made Dearrow 100% free without having to beg via email for russians :heart:
