For people wondering, the extension is also capable of changing clickbait title into a more descriptive one. You could also have a button toggle on each video to see the original title and thumbnail vs the changed one

Agreed. I like the title change, but the chance of not being able to remember the actual title of a video when I need to is not worth it.

What does remembering the actual title mean if they change it every five minutes ;)

But yea, a DeArrow search engine would solve that problem

Fair, but the YouTubers I usually watch tend not to do the whole clickbait thing, so this is really a non-issue for me 🤣
