posted 3 years agoGlad you're finding it useful and thank you for your feedback! To track suggestions 1 and 2 I've created https://github.com/domdomegg/hideytthumbnails-extension/issues/7 and suggestion 3 is tracked in https://github.com/domdomegg/hideytthumbnails-extension/issues/2 - Rated 5 out of 5by Finn, 3 years agoThis is exactly the extension I was looking for. I watch a bunch of youtube channels & videos with "scary" content, but i tend to hate the thumbnails that go along with them (the clickbait-y trend for ~scary~ videos being what it is - "find the most disturbing visual & distort it into something even less pleasant to look at"), which makes it a slog to scroll through some of the channels i actually enjoy! thanks to the developer for making this add-on available, it works well & makes youtube a more accessible site to navigate. 5 stars

posted 3 years agoHey Finn, thanks for the stars and your detailed review - I really appreciate it! Glad this helps you watch "scary" content without the slog of having to scroll through channels with unpleasant thumbnails :) - Rated 5 out of 5by 454, 3 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by zopoyo, 4 years agoWay better than what i was expecting. Over the years, i have developed a bad habit of going to youtube when I get stuck on a tough problem or just unconsciously. I noticed that the thumbnails where a huge problem because they were the main reason for me picking a particular video. I wanted something like this to deprive my mind of the colorful thumbnails that it uses.

posted 3 years agoHi zopoyo, thank you for taking the time to write such a detailed review, it means a lot! Glad this has helped break the cycle of defaulting to browsing YouTube as a form of procrastinating on tough problems - and props to you for setting up systems in place to make yourself more effective! - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14721471, 4 years ago

posted 3 years agoThanks for the review and useful feedback. Some other users have suggested a toggle option so I'm looking into that. Tracking in https://github.com/domdomegg/hideytthumbnails-extension/issues/2 - Rated 5 out of 5by libre, 4 years agoDoes exactly what it says and shows on the screenshots. Man what a relief for the brain
