Awesome, this and sponsorblock are literally making youtube less of a clickbait hellscape

Only gave 4 stars because it lacks the community sponsorblock has and the UI is a bit finicky, it definitely needs to be improved. Once the community is there, this extension will be much more useful since we can better rely on the voting system and be able to overwrite most videos out there more easily.

Ajay my man, made Dearrow 100% free without having to beg via email for russians :heart:

A great add-on if you dont want a click bait title and thumbnail

This is a cool extension, dont find it too useful for the stuff I've curated for my feed though. Could be cool if you could filter out music videos thumbnails, so that you can see the original ones, other than that this works great.

Makes YouTube almost unusable: adds a considerable delay to every UI interaction. For example pausing or resuming a video takes 5-20 seconds.

This extension no longer works with Firefox >133. The popup box that asks you to confirm that you are adhering to the 3 main rules is just a blank black box.

When it used to work - 5 stars

To devs reply. Yes, I understand how it is SUPPOSED to work, because it USED to work in the manner you describe. But now I just get a blank black box where the rules SHOULD be

Its a good add-on (as expected from Sponsorblock dev), however i believe it relies a bit too much on crowd sourcing

In my opinion, it should use one of those AI websites which summaries a youtube and do it for the titles.

This is an interesting compromise. I think I'll keep using it, because it makes the recommendations/searches a lot more relaxing to look at. But the downside is making videos seem better than they are, because if the title and thumbnail are bad, the video itself probably is too, and this hides that signal. I haven't been using it all that long and there's already been a couple times when I've really hated a video, then looked at the original title and thumbnail and realised that I wouldn't have clicked on it if I wasn't using DeArrow. It does prevent videos from lying about their contents in the title, so it may well save time overall. There's a deep problem with Youtube that is probably impossible to patch over with a browser extension, and this is still a useful tool.

My licence key is ACNq4-7d5ea, hopefully it is reusable.

I created an account with Firefox in order to review this outstanding extension. Ajay, thank you for helping with the overwhelming lack of ethics within "creators"
My favorite part (and the main reason for this review) is that it was a LTT thumbnail that made me reinstall this, Linus's thumbnails are the biggest clickbait, but to see LTT featured on this MAIN SHAMING PAGE, love it.
Highly recommended to anyone that's sick and tired of "creators" abusing their followers.

Tells you to activate and there's no option to get free access as the page doesn't work
"An error occurred during a connection to dearrow.ajay.app."

e/ I'd suggest allowing access to addon in some way without connecting to a website so that the addon is usable for people facing similar issue

Not nearly as useful as SponsorBlock.

Perfectly adequate not-clickbait titles keep getting changed into generic titles

Takes too many clicks to downvote a bad title.
