I didn't realise I needed this until I saw it as a feature in my Adfree Youtube app on my LG TV. I actually don't mind the arrow thumbnails, but I'm growing to really appreciate (and contribute to) the title swaps. The thumbnail swaps feel too obvious and ugly, but the Titles feel very transparent and get to the heart of what as video is about (this is I think personal preference, I guess I don't mind "sensational" imagery to grab my attention as long as the Title is descriptive) I find I'm both avoiding videos I have no interest in, but also actually finding new creators thanks to their "de-arrowed" video titles. You can re-arrow titles with a single click (I presume this does the same with thumbnails too).

The free activation took me about a day, and honestly now I've started using it think I will contribute, at the least I've already contributed with a few titles of my own. Your license also syncs with your Firefox Sync, which I was surprised about for the free license.

best addon ever made

Unusable garbage

It's not about the price, it's about the hassle. I can use a completely free extension that does the exact same thing and not have to worry about the hassle.

Firefox mobile,latest version-doesnt work anymore(video titles doesnt change after enabling addon)

I haven't found any corrected titles which are flat-out wrong, and if I see inaccuracies I fix them instead of leaving a bad review :). FYI - you do NOT have to pay to use this at all! Just wait the 24 hours and you're good to go.

Excellent, works well, no complaints.

Interesting premise, but a lot of times the thumbnails/titles are objectively worse than the original thumbnails/titles. This isn't the add-on author's fault, though. But it's enough for me to not want to use this add-on.

I love dearrow, it's just so great how everyone contributes to help making youtube a better place.

Causing issues since 2.1.11 and the dev is no help in even asking for a shred of information to try and fix the issue. I highly do NOT recommend downloading this as if you have ANY issue you will NOT get any help trying to fix it.

Edit: "When someone spams my email..." 4 days went by with no response, then I gave some information I thought would be useful and thought I had found the issue, to which I closed my issue post on your github page. 6 full days went by until the issue popped up again, where I reopened the issue. I mentioned something I noticed when moving the tab/window playing a YT video and 3 more full days went by without a word. That's spam to you? You've got a very skewed definition of the word "spam" if that's how you think...

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.
