- I just installed this and found a configuration menu inside the app, which let me select to only remove thumbnails from the my playlist overview but still see them in search and the suggestion panel on the right side. Just as I like it. The playlist menu is still formatted with lines of 4 playlists(as youtube formatted it) but the stupid irritating enormous and useless "thumbnails" have gone.

- Downloaded/added to Chrome, refreshed youtube page, preview thumbnails STILL cover entire video by the end, ruining the video. Doesn't work.

- Paul Lastname
- We all like Youtube, well we all have to use it at least, that's why we're here. But we all know how clickbaity and falsified and yea... plain distracting the thumbnails are. So I just did a quick search for something not knowing if it existed, and it works, perfectly, immediately. With no fuss. Thanks. You're a real developer for the people.

- This extension is alright. It does look odd with nothing there besides the name of the video but I don't like these people with weird thumbnails I'll still rate it 5.

- Perfect, would be even more awesome if it would work with the ad blocker i have. Don't know if this information means anything to you Adam but when I'm in blurred mode it wont work but if I'm in hidden mode it does(just not fully for my ad blocker).
- Kartikey Bartwal
- perfect
- A H
- Greatly needed extension, I appreciate your efforts :-) As others have pointed out, would be useful to have video lengths still be shown. Btw, info for anyone for whom the extension isn't working: It clashes indeed with other youtube extensions. For me, I couldn't set this on at the same time as Unhooked.
- Daniel Rem.
- Would be excelent, but the fact that I can no longer see which videos I've watched already or the lenght of videos, It kinda ruined the thing for me.
- rudolf haviger
