door 00yunje, 2 jaar geledenDepending on who you're subscribed to, this might not make much impact on your browsing experience. Due to titles being crowd-sourced, not every video will be equally affected. Sometimes, the suggested titles can get REALLY pedantic for otherwise perfectly serviceable titles. For example, "The History of The Simpsons Hit & Run World Records" by Summoning Salt became... "The History of The Simpsons Hit & Run (All Story Missions) World Records". Like, that's *barely* more information, and it's stuff I think most people would've assumed anyway from the original title. However, in both cases I've seen this happen, they've reverted back to the original titles soon after. (There's not even a record of there ever being a proposed title, so you're just gonna have to trust me that they were there. I know what I saw.)
Generally, they make the biggest difference with channels like Kurzgesagt or Tom Scott, creators they specifically showcase in the screenshots. Titles can be a bit of a mixed bag for others, but more for the fact that not every video - that might need a retitle - will get them. The generic thumbnail replacer makes the bigger difference to me, imo. It just gives you an honest impression of what each video's gonna look like, literally. And it's nice not having to deal with the obnoxious, gaudy thumbnails people put out sometimes.
Despite the occasionally questionable re-titles, I think the crowd-sourced titles are decent and in good faith. I appreciate the number of guidelines the devs put out to even propose a proper title. It sort of feels like Wikipedia - it might have its vandals, but collectively I think it's in good hands.

- Waardering: 5 van 5door mark100, één maand geledenOne 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. - Waardering: 5 van 5door Firefox-gebruiker 18414040, één maand geleden

2 maanden geleden geplaatstCan you verify if you are on the latest version of the extension? (2.3.6) - Waardering: 5 van 5door Chris Hayes, 2 maanden geledenGenuinely 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. - Waardering: 4 van 5door Firefox-gebruiker 17842467, 2 maanden geledenI 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.Antwoord van ontwikkelaar
2 maanden geleden geplaatstIf 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" - Waardering: 5 van 5door Penny, 3 maanden geledenBig fan of this extension, occasionally youtube will make changes and break it, but it is always back working pretty quickly

- Waardering: 1 van 5door mguia, 3 maanden geledenIts 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

3 maanden geleden geplaatstHi, 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 - Waardering: 5 van 5door Firefox-gebruiker 14902700, 3 maanden geledenGreat 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 issueAntwoord van ontwikkelaar
3 maanden geleden geplaatstHi, 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 - Waardering: 1 van 5door bnvnnchgcccc, 3 maanden geledenchanges 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

3 maanden geleden geplaatstYou 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 - Waardering: 5 van 5door Firefox-gebruiker 19218008, 4 maanden geleden
- Waardering: 3 van 5door Aleksandersen, 4 maanden geledenInteresting concept, but the extension frequently breaks YouTube — images and features fail to load every few weeks until you disable this extension.

4 maanden geleden geplaatstAt 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
