Icegger-it Aseqdac Firefox 18555405

It definitely does its job, removing a lot of clickbaity titles and thumbnails, but I do sometimes find a lot of the changes redundant. I know this is due to user error but it is a bit annoying to see a video with a normal title be changed for no reason, or for videos to have very long titles. I've also had issues with YouTube's UI since using this extension, occasionally each row will try to display one more video than usual and glitches out some shelves on the recommended page. Additionally, one feature I found quite annoying was that every exclamation point in the titles of videos (that have not been manually changed) default to being periods instead. I find this change quite unnecessary, and usually just makes video titles look awkward. I can partially understand why this change is made, but I really do wish there was an option to remove it. Finally, I think the button to reveal the original video title and thumbnail is quite small, and sometimes I will click on videos I didn't mean to click on. While I like the idea of this extension, I'm not sure I'll be using it unless the kinks are worked out.

    One of the best YouTube extensions out there.
    It's up there with Sponsor block and UBlock Origin.
    It's very time saving, especially when browsing through your recommendations page (it makes your digest more productive.)
    Most of these big tech channel videos are frequently summarized into a small sentence.
    I've found it most useful for tech videos (as most custom titles lie here)
    The feature where it shows a random screenshot of the video in the thumbnail is amazing, it helps me preview videos that are obviously AI generated.
    I love this extension, and I suggest others to contribute to the project by:
    buying the product - it's only $1 !!!
    donating to the developer.
    source thumbnails and titles yourself to help expand the project!
    share it with your friends.

    the only problem I have with it, is that it isn't popular enough, making custom titles quite rare in normal feeds.

    The remove emojis feature is not working for me. There is an original title that isn't replaced and the emojis are there despite having the option checked.

    Can you verify if you are on the latest version of the extension? (2.3.6)

    Genuinely improves my YouTube experience.

    Yesterday for some reason it stopped working and was making Firefox hang, so I disabled it. I forgot I did that and was wondering why YouTube suddenly felt a lot more click-bait-y than usual.

    I love that thumbnails actually represent how the video looks, and that I no longer see video titles that tell me absolutely nothing about the video.

    My $1 has been well worth it.

    I don't understand installing it and subsequently leaving a negative review for the fact that it does what it says, or for the $1 dollar payment that you *don't have to pay.* That said, this is often broken and may not always be as useful as you'd think (people like to inject their opinions into the new titles for example; this is often fixed eventually but it's kinda irritating when bad titles stay up). You can just go through the settings to limit or remove title changes, though.

    Edit: Re-read what I said, this is a pretty neutral review -- unchanged by your response.

    If it's still not working for you, try making sure it's not asking for extra permissions. You can go to about:addons, and click the gear icon and click "Check for updates". If there is a popup in the top right asking for permissions to access dearrow.ajay.app (the DeArrow homepage), click "Update"

    Big fan of this extension, occasionally youtube will make changes and break it, but it is always back working pretty quickly

    Its crazy how an app that supposedly is against preadatory marketing has such a predatory and cynicala monetization strategy of promising to be free while its not

    Hi, it's not meant to be predatory, and does not promise to be free. It is a paid extension that allows most people to use it for free if they choose

    Great extension, can't imagine my life without it now.

    But just yesterday it stopped working. First the button to show original video title and thumbnail disappeared and now all titles and thumbnails are original clickbaity ones. Changing any settings in the extension or restarting it doesn't help sadly :(

    ----
    Reinstalling the extension fixed the issue

    Hi, this was fixed in version 2.3.4 which has now been reviewed by Mozilla so you should be able to just update

    Edit: they made another change, it's fixed in 2.3.4. If you don't want to wait for Mozilla to review it, you can install the beta by clicking "FirefoxSignedInstaller" on https://github.com/ajayyy/DeArrow/releases/tag/2.3.5

    changes titles that dont need to be changed at all, and it changes them to a longer much worse version of the same title. the original was already descriptive, useless app, terrible user titles

    You can try enabling "casual mode" to keep the funny or interesting titles, or use the "default to original information" button to only see the custom title if you click a button

    Interesting concept, but the extension frequently breaks YouTube — images and features fail to load every few weeks until you disable this extension.

    At the moment, sometimes the first recommended video will be blank. There is an update to fix this, but it is currently still being reviewed by Mozilla. You can install the beta version by clicking the "FirefoxSignedInstaller" on https://github.com/ajayyy/DeArrow/releases/tag/2.3
