DeArrow is a browser extension for YouTube for reducing sensationalism, misleading titles and aggressive thumbnails. DeArrow works by formatting all titles, and replacing thumbnails with screenshots at specific timestamps.

No more dealing with clickbait, arrows, or annoying faces.

Users can submit better titles and thumbnails for each video and vote on them.

hopefully it’s going to work with Piped and Invidious in the future, too.

    Awesome! I’ve become so accustomed to SponsorBlock doing its thing that I can’t imagine watching Youtube without it.

    I hope this takes off and maybe help combat AI-generated content, for example, by giving potential viewers a heads-up that the video is bunk (text2voice reading ChatGPT hallucinations over stolen visual material).
