clickbait-remover-for VS clickbait-remover-for-youtube

Thanks, turns out from this GitHub thread that there's even a Safari version - https://github.com/pietervanheijningen/clickbait-remover-for...

Clickbait remover for YouTube is also good for this https://github.com/pietervanheijningen/clickbait-remover-for...

If you are on desktop I can only recommend Clickbait Remover

Literally called clickbait remover: https://github.com/pietervanheijningen/clickbait-remover-for-youtube

I've been using https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/clickbait-remover-... this extension for quite some time. Works wonderfully.

Like Clickbait Remover for Youtube which pulls actual thumbnails from the video instead of whatever garbage the uploader decided would be enticing. AFAIK there isn't a way to do that genericly as the fetch thumbnail from x time part isn't standardised.

If you use Chrome, YouTube Shorts Block [1] is a good extension for that.

And while we're talking about extensions to customize your YT experience, here's three more that I really enjoy:

- Clickbait Remover [2], to remove the usually clickbait-ish thumbnails

- Unhook [3], to remove the recommended videos entirely (this helped me reduce the time spent on YT. I browse on my phone, add to watch later, so on desktop I only search or watch what I have previously added to my queue)

- Video Speed Controller [4]. This one is super popular, so probably you already have it installed.

There's this chrome extension called Clickbait remover. It basically makes YouTube videos less enticing to click on. This would make it less likely for me to binge watch videos instead of doing productive things with my life. Same thing for hiding the home page.
