I installed it and am using it to replace a much better addon that is no longer updated. I only care about two features: changing the case of titles and replacing thumbnails with video frames.

I have a couple problems with DeArrow:

Similar to SponsorBlock, the crowdsourced nature of it makes it very unreliable. There are many cases of overly opinionated user submissions that conflict with the original material in one way or another.

There are settings to remove the crowdsource functionality and make it work the way I described above, but getting it to do that wasn't very easy and required some hoops to be jumped through.

The much bigger set of hoops is the process of getting to use the addon. You cannot use the addon for free, and the description is misleading.

To get access you need to first click a button to decline paying, then you need to apply for free access, you do not get free access immediately, so you have to start your short free trial. My trial expired before I was granted free access. I was very tempted to uninstall the plugin at every step of this way, and the experience means I will never donate.

I understand the desire to make money off this, but this attitude sucks when it actively and very successfully disrupts the usability of the tool. I am not recommending it to other people. Will drop it if I ever make my own addon to replace the old clickbait remover, or find an alternative.

Maybe this is petty and vindictive, but I'm so tired of all the bullshit and lack of groovy attitudes.

This makes YouTube SO MUCH BETTER! Videos I would never click on are made way more interesting now that I can actually see what they're about. Every YouTuber feels the need to oversimplify their thumbnails and titles to make it more "clickable", but for some of us, that has the opposite effect. Thank you for making the YouTube experience better.

I love not seeing click bait!

please update it to work with the recent new youtube layout! the button to show/hide the replaced thumbnail/title now moves around when you try to click it, very annoying

This is an essential extension if you are an avid Youtube user.

I soo badly wants to support u but alas don't have a credit card or paypal. I will support u one day though when I get a job soon. Take care brother and thanks.

Nowadays I consider this a mandatory extension. YouTube without it is painful to my eyes. Thank you to Ajay for making this extension, it is a gem.

Fantastic! Improved titles help inform me what I'm >actually< going to see if I click rather than the sensationalized bunk that has become so common for good & bad channels alike.

Love it

Always a blank screen since today for every thumbnaiI I reinstalled nothing changed It worked for a long time

Edit: It work very well now

worked well for a while, then it broke.

Edit; Dev fixed it, add-on works well, not perfect but helps cut down the insanely over embellished nature of YouTube thumbnails/titles.

A massively over-engineered solution compared to something like Clickbait Remover. Why does this require the Sponsorblock model instead of just giving you semi-random screenshots? Why all this complexity?

I don't think there's any reason other than the developer wishing to justify monetizing crowd-sourced software.

EDIT: response to developer - I would wager that the vast majority of this addon's users don't care about the title change feature (indeed, I quickly disabled it). I also don't see how Clickbait Remover predating Arrow excuses Arrow being over-engineered - if anything, that makes it worse (a simple solution was demonstrated, yet it was decided to build an incredibly convoluted alternative)
