How to make YouTube less distracting

• farside

  34 643 9.5 Elixir

  A smart redirecting gateway for various frontend services

Libredirect, the extension, needs access to my data but it remains in the extension.

Farside, as I understand it, sends clicks to https://farside.link, which will redirect to the appropriate proxy with the full URL including the path. I can't really tell because the source code of the extension isn't linked. This behaviour can only be acceptable if I set the extension to query an instance I trust (my own, for example), but at this point it's just easier to do everything in the extension itself.

• clickbait-remover-for-youtube

  99 346 6.1 JavaScript

  Replaces thumbnails and modifies titles of videos on youtube.com

For me, the happy medium is an extension that replaces thumbnails with a frame from the actual video itself (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/clickbait-remover-...).

Videos are still visually identifiable this way, and as a plus you get a preview of their actual contents, all while significantly cutting down on visual noise.
