Description from store
This extension replaces thumbnails with a frame from the video, effectively removing any clickbait while still showing a high quality thumbnail so you can still get a good idea of what the video is about.
It can also modify titles to stop partial or all caps titles.
It works everywhere on Youtube including the homepage, trending page, subscription page and channel pages.
All functionality of the extension is customizable by clicking the extension icon on the top right, you can see the effect that different options have right away if you have a youtube tab open, no need to reload the page. And also on mobile.
This extension might help people who have a Youtube addiction or anyone who just doesn't want to be distracted by flashy thumbnails and all caps titles while trying to find some quality content.

- Love the extension, huge quality of life improvement when browsing youtube. Could you also add "Do not translate video titles" ? YouTube forces AI-powered translation of videos titles and it's impossible to block
- TroLL Master
- Title modification doesnt work anymore
- Nick D'Alessio
- Was perfect until recently, when Youtube's capitalization brainrot crept back in. I'll update this back to 5* when it's working again, right now the only part that works is the random frame to choose for the thumbnail.
- Colby Kubicz
- I don't use the thumbnail changer, but the title changer works great and increases clarity across the website. Currently having an issue for me where it only works on the homepage and search results page, not on the recommended videos in the sidebar (which is where I'd like it to work the most).
- Michael Buehler
- It's simple, it works and it's free.
- Zero One
- Awesome tool, but I wish it didn't remove thumbnails from streams. It just ends up being a gray box, and I can't even tell what the stream is about sometimes.
- Melvin MacDonald
- I was using DeArrow, but realized after isolating the issue that DeArrow was the reason for MASSIVE performance issues on my phone while browsing YouTube. I don't care enough to test but I guess it was due to how it modifies the page. It would cause unbearable slowdowns and even crash the browser (Edge Canary). Anyways, this extension seems to be far more performant and I had no care for the crowd-sourced nature anyway, preferring the auto-generated thumbnails and retaining the original titles. Thank you.

- pretty good but it doesnt seem to be working
- Mark Swan
- One of my favorite extensions. It is surprising how well this work for avoiding clicking on random videos.
- Joe Bridge
- This has stopped working today, titles with capitalization are back.
- muadh Gamal
- This fully meets my requirements. That's exactly what I needed!
- Max Taylor
- Exactly what I was looking for. Now I can browse YouTube without feeling like everyone's jingling keys in my face.

- G3m of an eXtension. It Really works!! Messes the caps of the video title and removes the click bait photo!! prolly the best and most useful extension on the web store! i would like to pay, but paypal is bad option
- Kamil J
- awesome, huge difference
- Jordan
- Mostly it works, but it does miss a few and some people's thumbnails still show up. I don't think this extension will ever update. It hasn't been updated since last year. Thats why I think it will slowly stop working.
- Francesco Lo Presti
- The extension has stopped working completely as now some channels do display clickbait thumbnails while others don't. Giving this a 3/5 as it works on about 60% of channels.
- Louis
- Rating this as it's stopped working on some channels. I figured out that's it's channels with A B thumbnail testing and that messes up so you still see their clickbait. Would be great if the dev can look into this had been loving this but recently more channels got access to this and are therefore using more clickbait so it annoys me even more when I see them now. Thanks <3
- OoB2
- This extension is excellent! The titles are my favorite, just having the case brought into order was such a huge change! Now browsing videos is easier and a little less stressful.
- OstepopSalat
- DOES WHAT IT SAYS GOOD
- Chris Actual
- This has a PROFOUND impact on the entire YouTube experience.
- Szczepan Hołyszewski
- Does one thing and does it well. There's one feature I'd like: the ability to whitelist channels like Numberphile, that are known to never abuse thumbnails, and in fact have a recognizable thumbnail format and style that makes it easier to spot their videos in the recommendations.
- Free
- would give a 5 star if there is a feature to block particular channels only. block everything is not very good when you're following a good content creator
- Yukiteru
- This will cause many thumbnails failed to load, especially all the upcoming livestreams
- pk
- I had to write a review for this extension!! This has changed the way I watch videos on youtube, no clickbait titles to distract, get thumbnail from real video.
- Calum Cowan
- After installation most YouTube videos don't seem intertesting anymore and most of the time they are in fact not interesting at all. Love it!
- Marcin
- Not working for brave
- Joseff Bailey-Wood
- Works well but I wish there were an option to pick from a random point in the video, because some creators intentionally have sections at the beginning, middle or end that are the same across their content.

- No funciona bien cuando lo usas en conjunto con la extension "Enhancer for YouTube™" en navegadores Chromium (ya que Firefox si funciona bien), me sigue apareciendo las miniaturas. Tengo la teoría que la extension carga antes que la extension que dije, ya que desactivo la extension de ustedes y la vuelvo a activar y funciona como nuevo sin problemas pero es aburrido y cansado hacer eso cada que abro el navegador.
- Retardicus
- Sounds great but it stops working as soon as the page is refreshed.

- Hey Dev, this review is for you. My brother recommended and installed this addon because I was getting a lot of clickbait and unwanted recommendations for videos and which were not related to the topics I use to watch and or watching. Since a lot of addons are installed, I was not able to figure out a problem that I was seeing a lot. The problem where the title of the video or anywhere within Youtube changes from "capitalize case" to "lower case". Also, the thumbnail changes from the default to some screenshot from within the video. It all looks weird and unprofessional. Hoping to look into these bugs and improve the overall usage by allowing us to report or block clickbait videos through 3 dots. Waiting for your better response. Until then I am disabling the addon not uninstalling it. Please let us know what your plans are for updates. Also provide us something for mobile. Thanks.

- EDIT: If you're using Chrome/Brave and it doesn't work upon refreshing, I found a fix which I shared on the extension page's Github. Look for my comments in issue #56. Been using it for about a year now. Best extension for YouTube you could possibly have.
