Like its sister extension (SponsorBlock), DeArrow changes the game when it comes to experiencing Youtube. If only were were a solution on mobile and elsewhere, too. Crowdsourced video titles means no more hyperbole, obnoxious formatting, and outright lying or baiting. And when you *do* run into those things, it feels good improving them so that others with the extension can benefit from a clearer and cleaner experience. I almost never pay or donate for extensions (though I have), but I immediately did so for DeArrow and SponsorBlock. I hope these extensions both grow in popularity, so even more videos are improved at a faster rate.

The only reason I knocked a star off of this review is that if I don't QUICKLY add the title when the input interface is open, it will always kill my entire browser (Zen Browser on Windows 11 usually). Everything -- all windows, tabs, etc -- the whole browser just hangs and the only way to get it working again is to kill the process and launch again. It happens so quickly that I have to type my title out in notepad, then copy it so that as soon as I open the input interface, I can immediately paste it in and hit the submit button.

However, if using it passively (not contributing -- just getting the benefit of better titles), it has no apparent negative impact. I would contribute more frequently if it were more stable, but it is otherwise terrific.

the thumbnail replacement is great, i don't use the title replacement. unfortunately, whenever i click on the "open submission menu" pencil icon, firefox freezes entirely and i have to kill and restart it :(

Was pretty great until submissions just stopped working entirely for a long time. Here's hoping the dev can find a solution

It's paid, there is no option to use it free, the description is lying, best you get is 'free' 6 hours before it lockes you from using it..

Weird plug in that doesn't really work until you figure out if the author wants to be paid or not. It's only $1 (I think), and offers the option of just either having a trial or using it for free, but neither of the last options worked.

I'm sure this is a great idea, but I couldn't get it to work to check if I liked it. Just make it paid for or not please, I don't want to have to faff about trying to get it to work.

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).

frustrating. most titles / thumbnails are either verbose / useless or don't change at all. picking titles or thumbnails (both of which you have to do after already clicking on the video) does nothing 90% of the time and reverts after it does work, probably because majority vote matters more than your own, rather than just being the default used.

Awesome, this and sponsorblock are literally making youtube less of a clickbait hellscape

Only gave 4 stars because it lacks the community sponsorblock has and the UI is a bit finicky, it definitely needs to be improved. Once the community is there, this extension will be much more useful since we can better rely on the voting system and be able to overwrite most videos out there more easily.

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