The creators of SponsorBlock did it again, now we can crowdsource better titles and thumbnails as well. I just tried it with LinusTechTips who is a worst offender when it comes to clickbait and its really great.

Compare without DeArrow

and with the extension

I use Firexox and I found it in its addon repository, just search the name.

The headline is a link to the DeAreow website as well. There are links there to the various browser extensions.

That seems cool. I'll definitely try that out, thanks for sharing!

Already using sponsor block and that saved me quite a bit of time!

Can this get rid of those horrible thumbnails "get rid of skin tags with this one weird trick!"

[–] Eigengrau@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

You can just use uBlock Origin for that

Regular uBlock takes care of those.
