Just like sponsor block this is only going to improve with time. Hopefully it gets integrated into revanced as well

Marques Brownlee was that guy fervently saying the Samsung S22 fake moon filter wasn't a fake moon filter. What a shill.

And then there's that extension that puts Mr. Beast's signature clickbait grin on every thumbnail

Oh oh I wish this was available for Safari too

This feels like, IMHO, trying to put out a forest fire with a single bucket of water. Instead, we should have a platform that does not encourage making titles and thumbnails completely unrelated to the video's content.

Maybe a feature request, but is there an addon that just blocks videos with shitty thumbnails or all caps? Might make the front page almost presentable.

If this extension could just hide those videos as an option, or at least flag them it might make browsing better.

BlockTube can block videos based on keywords

nice, good to see an adblocker for clickbaits

[–] TastyWheat@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Fuck, this is awesome. Great idea!
