Overview
Replaces thumbnails and modifies titles of videos on youtube.com
This extension replaces thumbnails with a frame from the video, effectively removing any clickbait while still showing a high quality thumbnail so you can still get a good idea of what the video is about. It can also modify titles to stop partial or all caps titles. It works everywhere on Youtube including the homepage, trending page, subscription page and channel pages. All functionality of the extension is customizable by clicking the extension icon on the top right, you can see the effect that different options have right away if you have a youtube tab open, no need to reload the page. And also on mobile. This extension might help people who have a Youtube addiction or anyone who just doesn't want to be distracted by flashy thumbnails and all caps titles while trying to find some quality content.

Mostly it works, but it does miss a few and some people's thumbnails still show up. I don't think this extension will ever update. It hasn't been updated since last year. Thats why I think it will slowly stop working.

The extension has stopped working completely as now some channels do display clickbait thumbnails while others don't. Giving this a 3/5 as it works on about 60% of channels.

Rating this as it's stopped working on some channels. I figured out that's it's channels with A B thumbnail testing and that messes up so you still see their clickbait. Would be great if the dev can look into this had been loving this but recently more channels got access to this and are therefore using more clickbait so it annoys me even more when I see them now. Thanks <3
