The real engineering original is basically spot on.

Is this available as a vanced patch aswell?

Wo a new extension worthy of installation, the last time that happened was a years ago, Channel Blocker. Feels like an ongoing battle with yt, to make it viewable to a human rather than it's own bots.

I went to install it but realised it's already among the 30 or so extensions I have to make the web bearable. Does that happen to anyone else?

This is awesome, installing it right now.

I just thought about giving it a try then remembered that 99.9% of my time on YT is through the Android app (ReVanced to be precise) and TV (YT AdFree on LG TV)

Crowdsourced?

Would be nice to get a random frame of the video instead of the actual thumbnail..

Need this on SmartTube for AndroidTV

This sounds like a nice addon, sadly most of my YT consumption is done from my Nvidia Shield TV with STN, so I still get those annoying thumbnails I think (I have them in my home screen and that's where I watch them or add them to the list to watch later within the Shield menu).

Brilliant

Doesn’t it really matter if the title is click baity if the content is worth watching. It generates revenue for the content creator so I feel like I’d rather them have what works than a cleaner title.

On firefox youtube videos take a long time to load, they'll play for a bit and then buffer. Without this extension youtube works fine on chrome. I guess this extension is in beta stage, needs to be polished more.

Considering it's from the same person behind sponsorblock, I'm positive future updates will fix this issue..

Edit: Seems I was using old version, just updated the extension as developer said they'd fixed the above issue in new version. So far so good, now videos are playing fine on firefox..

By default, if there are no submissions, it will [...] set a screenshot from a random timestamp as the thumbnail.

Would it be possible to extract the most watched position from the watch graph in the seek bar or use positions that were already tagged as highlights in sponsorblock for better defaults?
