clickbait-remover-for-youtube VS bibliogram

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.

You can also host alternative frontends like Invidious, Whoogle or Bibliogram (or a different alternative frontend, there are many others such as nitter, etc. Just do a quick Duckduckgo search ;) )

Instagram will definitely limit your IP if it detects anything "fishy." For example, using inspect element to remove the login wall they place on their web interface gets you limited. If they suspect you are running a Bibliogram instance they will limit you.

Thanks, I just noticed that. I'm not on instagram, but I view it through https://bibliogram.art sometimes

Barinsta if you need app client with or without account . Bibliogram for web apps or page but without account Twidere for twitter or any mastadon client if you want to use account but I suggest Fritter now its awesome no need of account just follow your twitter follows there and you get all feeds without account

Lil' off-topic, but since you mentioned Instagram's hoops - there's an open source project, Bibliogram.art, that is essentially a website you can use to view Instagram content while holding as much of Facebook's tracking back as possible, which also results in there being minimal required interaction.
