DeArrow - Better Titles and Thumbnails on YouTube av Ajay (SponsorBlock)

av Anderson, 3 måneder sidenThis is so great! Thank you for making this and helping fight back against all the attention-grabbing. I love that the thumbnails can be set to just show a random screenshot from the video. It gives me a much better idea of what the video actually is rather than relying on the overly-clickbait-y thumbnails. The search results page feels much calmer (and actually reminds me of the early youtube days).

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.Utviklerrespons
postet 4 dager sidenIf 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" - Vurdert til 5 ut av 5av Penny, 18 dager sidenBig fan of this extension, occasionally youtube will make changes and break it, but it is always back working pretty quickly

postet én måned sidenHi, 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 - Vurdert til 5 ut av 5av Firefox-bruker 14902700, én måned sidenGreat 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 issueUtviklerrespons
postet én måned sidenHi, 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 - Vurdert til 1 ut av 5av bnvnnchgcccc, én måned sidenchanges 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

- Vurdert til 3 ut av 5av Aleksandersen, 2 måneder sidenInteresting concept, but the extension frequently breaks YouTube — images and features fail to load every few weeks until you disable this extension.

postet 2 måneder sidenAt 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 - Vurdert til 5 ut av 5av Alise, 2 måneder siden

- Vurdert til 1 ut av 5av Jorb, 3 måneder sidenUsed to be amazing. Now with the latest Youtube changes it's very inconsistent. Most videos that use to have custom names and thumbnails no longer do, and only a few here and there still have them. The majority of videos also don't even allow you to submit new titles anymore, the textboxes to do so are absent.

postet 2 måneder sidenHi, is this still happening to you? Could you send a screenshot to dev @ ajay.app - Vurdert til 1 ut av 5av Samg381, 3 måneder sidenThe payment scheme is as deceptive and scummy as the clickbait this extension seeks to fix. I have never seen something as bizarre as this.

postet 2 måneder sidenDeArrow is a paid extension, but I understand not everyone wants to or can pay, so you can use it for free by clicking "I don't want to pay" or sending me an email for a free key
Or even using a good ole keygen website lol https://ashleygraves.eu/dearrow/ - Vurdert til 1 ut av 5av penny, 3 måneder sidenThe settings are not nearly granular enough for me to customize this experience to my liking, and the style that the community has decided to adopt is not *descriptive* it's *verbose*. Concise language, emotive language, evocative language are not bad things, inherently. Videos from some of my favorite channels were unrecognizable and significantly worse.
I wish I could say this could be solved by creating a "blacklist" mode, where only specific, named, egregious channels I select would have their titles and thumbnails replaced, but I installed this in order to scrub the obnoxious titles and thumbnails that Veritasium loves to use, but the community suggested replacement for one Veritasium video was so much *less* clear and descriptive than the original that it completely defeats the point.
I wasn't bothered by the request for payment, since it took me significantly less than the six hours of the free trial to realize this wasn't for me. Additionally, unlike some people, I recognize FOSS development is labor and deserves to be paid. I just wish people realized that also applied to those who script, film, edit, and design thumbnails for videos on Youtube.Utviklerrespons
postet 2 måneder sidenSorry about that, unfortunately the titles aren't for everyone and can be too descriptive sometimes for sure. I suggest enabling "Default to Original Video Information" - Vurdert til 5 ut av 5av Poligraf Poligrafovich Bouboulov, 3 måneder siden

postet 2 måneder sidenIt's a paid extension, but I don't want to limit people who cannot or do not want to pay from using it. So, you can use it for free by clicking that you don't want to pay, or emailing me asking for a key :) - Vurdert til 5 ut av 5av mobile, 3 måneder sidenI've used this extension everyday without noticing its effects, it probably has saved me a ton of time not getting duped by clickbaiters.
