Ask HN: Extension to remove annoying YouTube faces 6 points by pomdevv 1y ago ↗ HN Guys,Would you use an extension to automatically remove the videos with annoying faces thumbnail ?
[–] byte0 1y ago ↗ I think there is already an extension that does this, even though I can't seem to find it right now. But anyway, why would I give myself the ability to accidentally click on some of these videos? For me, the faces act as a filter to ignore them. [–] pomdevv 1y ago ↗ Let's completely remove them from your feed
[–] leaf-node 1y ago ↗ https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/yt-thumbs-shorts-bl...I made this simple chrome-extension, which blocks youtube-thumbnails & shorts. Nothing fancy.Internally, it blocks network requests which are related to thumbnails.Additionally, you can use "Clickbait Remover for YouTube" extension. It simply replaces the thumbnails with a snapshot of the video.
[–] synthoidzeta 1y ago ↗ Try this: https://dearrow.ajay.app/ [–] pomdevv 1y ago ↗ Wow this is really good ! It's even more advanced than my idea
[–] wruza 1y ago ↗ SponsorBlock recommends Dearrow, but personally I didn’t try it yet (don’t have that much crap in my thumbnails). [–] pomdevv 1y ago ↗ I just checked it out and it's awesome ! It replaces clickbait thumbnails with a screen of the video and the title also
