This is great for making your feed more bearable. The only issue is it will also make the actual clickbait videos with trash content look legit, therefore making it hard to avoid them.
My first impression: nah, why alter the creators intention... But actually, this works really great. From my subs not that many videos get dearrowed, but the homepage and suggestions do feel different. Great extension, thanks!
Amazing idea but not sure of how I feel about letting the extension control my browser to that extent. If it was part of the diredox code, I'd install it straight away though.
Can I be sure that it only accesses and modifies YouTube.com?
the permissions control is done by firefox, and as you can see in the add-ons settings it only asks for access to this list of websites
Access to your data from sites in the domain googlevideo.com Access your data from sites in the domain youtube.com Access your data from sponsor.ajay.app Access your data for dearrow-thumb.ajay.app Access your data from www.youtube-nocookie.comand optionally the user can give you access to all sites but it is not necessary. This can be changed but in that case firefox will warn you that the plugin requires new permissions.
Great! I'll look into how Firefox handles site restrictions and then I might try it!
