- Waardering: 3 van 5door Firefox-gebruiker 15007095, 3 jaar geledenUnfortunately it conflicts with "BlockTube", which is number 2 priority addon for me for youtube (3 is being SponsorBlock), so i have to disable it for now. But otherwise it's pretty good so far.
Reply (12.07):
I think i mostly have the default settings, but to be fair, its kind of a little buggy addon by itself, and i never found any better alternative.
It did work ok 3-4 days before that (ignoring the thumbnail and general lag), but after that some videos just suddenly stopped playing altogether, and other ones break mid-play, and disabling "dearrow" instantly stopped all of it.Antwoord van ontwikkelaar
3 jaar geleden geplaatstInteresting, it shouldn't. Are there specific settings you have enabled in BlockTube that conflict?
Edit: oh that's a separate issue, but that should be fixed now - Waardering: 5 van 5door Firefox-gebruiker 15695248, 3 jaar geledenI have been dreaming of this addon for years. Ajay Ramachandran is a god among us. Thank you Ajay for all that you do!
- Waardering: 4 van 5door showers, 3 jaar geledenI absolutely love this addon and the concept behind it, but unfortunately, it seems to be very resource-intensive, causing my videos to chug along and lag for the first few seconds while it attempts to load many thumbnails, on top of causing all thumbnails to load slowly...

3 jaar geleden geplaatstThe thumbnail generation service I'm running has gone down to due a storage issue, so it is falling back to local generation, which is probably causing those issues. I'll look into making the local generation work better in the future when outages happen. - Waardering: 5 van 5door Firefox-gebruiker 17970984, 3 jaar geledenI think this add-on is a great idea, and like many other reviewers, I didn't really know I needed this until I turned it on.
Currently, my only issue is that this app seems to really mess with the initial loading of videos, like it will stutter or not start in the first 10~20 seconds before returning to normal performance.
This will only get better as more people start contributing to the process, but even now, not being exposed 24/7 to clickbait and other means to tug at your attention span makes a world of difference.
Edit: Thank you for the response. It seems thumbnail generation service is back online, and as long as local generation performance can be improved, I think that might be the better long term solution, but I'm not here to tell you how to run the add-on.Antwoord van ontwikkelaar

Wish it had more community contributions but that will come with time. Love that it's open source, keep up the good work

- Waardering: 1 van 5door Charlie S, 3 jaar geledenI do not agree that there should be a pay wall for late adopters. That makes it more difficult to get good crowd sourcing metrics, which is required for good performance.

3 jaar geleden geplaatstThe idea is to have an easy enough free access system to not cause any issues like that, but time will tell how it works out - Waardering: 4 van 5door Dark Moyan, 3 jaar geledenI never knew I need this but now I really need this. I just hope you will add Original vs custom/random thumbnail so we could see the original and the random one.

- Waardering: 1 van 5door hoggys2much, 3 jaar geledenTotal utter garbage! Tried it and Youtube completely DIED on me. Pages were still trying to load even after 5 minutes. Nothing worked, I had to close down all my Youtube tabs and it slowed down Firefox something rotten. I have deleted this utter garbage from add-ons. Do not use.

As described in an earlier reply, I am current working on a fix for improved performance on Firefox. I should have it out today or tomorrow :) - Waardering: 5 van 5door EcoRadium, 3 jaar geleden

- Waardering: 5 van 5door DeAndre Queary, 3 jaar geledenSeems to be working. It's by the same dev as Sponsor Block so im keeping it. 👌🏾
- Waardering: 4 van 5door Throwawayaccount, 3 jaar geledenThis addon most definitely has potential! I find that video's have started buffering... if i click at the video bar on the right I see the video tiles slowly appear. Either way I will keep trying this addon and if the buffering gets bad put it on the sideline and check back on it. Either way 4/5 stars buds! Nice job!
Edit: Thanks for the update! I do understand that it is in a 'Alpha/Beta' stage. I made an account just to give a 'Bug' or 'RFC' or 'Feedback' and once gain thank you for your effort!Antwoord van ontwikkelaar

Still working out some issues, so I haven't released it yet, but the next update should help fix this by switching how the thumbnails are rendered on the page (By using Image elements instead of Canvas elements) - Waardering: 5 van 5door Firefox-gebruiker 15704348, 3 jaar geleden

- Waardering: 5 van 5door dzamie, 3 jaar geledenIt's so refreshing to not be bombarded by clickbait thumbnails. Plus, the occasional rewritten video title is nice (though I enjoy the ability to temporarily see the originals). The only issue is that it takes longer to load the new thumbnails, but honestly that's not much of a problem.

- Waardering: 4 van 5door display name, 3 jaar geledenGreat idea. Though I am surprised that Tom Scott's channel was picked as a demonstration, as he is not a particularly bad offender in this respect, to the point where I personally do not mind having his original thumbnails and titles.
If you're aiming at something clickbaity, yet still informative enough to be worth spending time on redacting, maybe show, I dunno, LegalEagle? TLDR News? Linus Tech Tips? Karl Jobst?Antwoord van ontwikkelaar
3 jaar geleden geplaatstVery recently, Tom Scott and CGP Grey have started going through their entire backlog and changing titles and thumbnails to be more attention grabbing and vague. Channels doing things like this are a heavy inspiration for this extension.
It's not just the Linus Tech Tips or the Mr Beasts of the world doing algorithm optimized titles and thumbnails now. Even really great channels like Tom Scott, CGP Grey, and Kurzgesagt are falling for the trap now.
And I don't blame them! That's what's needed to survive on the platform these days. It's a race to the bottom.
DeArrow hopes to solve this. DeArrow puts everyone on a level playing field. There is no race to the bottom since no one is allowed to be algorithmically optimized. It pauses the race, and let's the true best videos rise to the top.
