- Rated 5 out of 5by Leo, a year agoAs someone who is possible Neurodivergent, I would like to thank you SO MUCH for this add-on
I have been using it for 1 Month now and it solve my major issues that has been plaguing Youtube!
The Clickbaits and Extremely Vague Tittles in the style of "The x situation is y" "It's Over" "The x thing you will never y" "This x thing changed my life" "Buzzword Buzzword Sloppy Clickbait" 😵💫
Clickbait? More like Click-REPEL!
In fact, a channel I used to be subscribed is more tolerable now with this addition because the Add-on tells me what the subject of the video is instead of vague posting titles and having all the freaking thumbnails being the guy's face! 😩
The Final Straw of me installing this was a video I watched with a friend online.
It was a 20 minutes long about an Xbox 360 game that stole assets from Nintendo... only for it to reveal it halfway the video it was a Fire Emblem sprite... - Rated 5 out of 5by Cameri, a year ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Nerthazul, a year agoIt depends on users for its functionality so it can sometimes be a bit lackluster in title coverage. But mostly it works really well and gives to the point video titles.

- Rated 5 out of 5by fantoski, a year agoGenuinely a life changer, I don't see myself using YouTube without it, and there's a surprisingly great amount of community-generated titles and thumbnails available.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Mewier, a year agoTried it for a couple of days and ended up buying it. It's a bit slow when loading the thumbnails, when opening my subscriptions it takes about 6 seconds for everything to load. But it's worth it, I love it, it removes the sensationalism.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Jakk, a year agoFantastic, completely non-intrusive. It's nice actually knowing what certain videos are going to be about before clicking them.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14425985, a year agoWorth the dollar. When videos are missing submissions I feel compelled to add one.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14230878, a year agoThis makes YouTube bearable. I miss it when I'm on mobile.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18493127, a year agoThis add-on makes Youtube seem so dull.
And that's a good thing.
Only issues I can see is that I keep checking the original titles out of curiosity (which is my own fault) and that the page lagged severely when I tested it on Mr. Beast's channel (which was rather amusing). - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18100227, a year agoImmediately my YouTube homepage became much easier to the eye, I'm also way less prone to click on stuff I really wouldn't have clicked otherwise (which I bet is exactly the purpose of this).
I like it so much more, in a sense the thumbnails become a little insipid, which is something one has to unlearn, but overall this extension brings unfathomed peace.
I think that acronyms should remain unchanged, since its easier to comprehend what's the title all about; also looks better, specially on team names and such.
Thank you very much. I'm an unpaid user, so thank you again and will send my grain of sand once I'm able to.
Thanks again. As an avid YouTube user, I really recommend this extension.
Check other extensions such as SponsorBlock, Enchancer for YouTube, Return YouTube Dislike and YouTube Short Block, all of which I use. - Rated 5 out of 5by Leo7K, a year ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by kloassie, a year agoWorks like a charm. I have the free 'version' bc I don't have a credit card (no need) and no paypal (don't trust pp), but when I find a suitable way to donate, I will. Anyways, I'd like an option to personally whitelist channels for showing original thumbnails - eg music channels that continuously show babes as thumbnails, I don't mind those polluting my view :-P
