    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!

    This extension is paywalled! It costs money, and asks for payment when you first open it.

      That’s true. It is open source. You could just modify the code to not do the validation check. And then install the extension that way.

      It could get forked and maintained by another group that maintains a separate database.

      I’m on the fence about this monetization model, running a database hit by thousands or millions of browsers is going to cost money. We’ll see if the project remains a success

    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.com
      

      and 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.
