- Rated 4 out of 5by RaphGL, 9 months agoAwesome, this and sponsorblock are literally making youtube less of a clickbait hellscape
Only gave 4 stars because it lacks the community sponsorblock has and the UI is a bit finicky, it definitely needs to be improved. Once the community is there, this extension will be much more useful since we can better rely on the voting system and be able to overwrite most videos out there more easily. - Rated 5 out of 5by The :(){ :|:& };:, 9 months agoAjay my man, made Dearrow 100% free without having to beg via email for russians :heart:

- Rated 5 out of 5by James, 9 months agoA great add-on if you dont want a click bait title and thumbnail
- Rated 4 out of 5by Gaming4, 9 months agoThis is a cool extension, dont find it too useful for the stuff I've curated for my feed though. Could be cool if you could filter out music videos thumbnails, so that you can see the original ones, other than that this works great.
- Rated 1 out of 5by yowidin, 9 months agoMakes YouTube almost unusable: adds a considerable delay to every UI interaction. For example pausing or resuming a video takes 5-20 seconds.
Developer response
posted 9 months agoIt seems like another extension might be conflicting. Could you try disabling other extensions? Maybe another extension is also changing video links. - Rated 1 out of 5by malau, 9 months agoThis extension no longer works with Firefox >133. The popup box that asks you to confirm that you are adhering to the 3 main rules is just a blank black box.
When it used to work - 5 stars
To devs reply. Yes, I understand how it is SUPPOSED to work, because it USED to work in the manner you describe. But now I just get a blank black box where the rules SHOULD beDeveloper response
posted 9 months agoThere are four rules. You have to check off each rule at a time. It only happens on your first submission and every few weeks. - Rated 5 out of 5by Alan, 9 months ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by SRS, 9 months agoIts a good add-on (as expected from Sponsorblock dev), however i believe it relies a bit too much on crowd sourcing
In my opinion, it should use one of those AI websites which summaries a youtube and do it for the titles. - Rated 1 out of 5by Th4t, 10 months ago
- Rated 4 out of 5by Ad-Free Life, 10 months agoI wasn't sure about this when I first installed it, but now that I've gotten used to it it has taken hold of me and I resent its absence. It makes browsing youtube search results and recommendations a lot more relaxing. Now, it's generally nice not to see obnoxious thumbnails, except they do often belong to obnoxious *videos*, which no extension can fix, and the replacements can seem misleadingly like something that might be worth clicking on. On every video link, the extension adds a button to show the original title and thumbnail rather than the dearrowed one, and I did have to get in the habit of checking that before watching a video, but now I hardly think about it.

- Rated 5 out of 5by EliteCanadian, 10 months agoI created an account with Firefox in order to review this outstanding extension. Ajay, thank you for helping with the overwhelming lack of ethics within "creators"
My favorite part (and the main reason for this review) is that it was a LTT thumbnail that made me reinstall this, Linus's thumbnails are the biggest clickbait, but to see LTT featured on this MAIN SHAMING PAGE, love it.
Highly recommended to anyone that's sick and tired of "creators" abusing their followers. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 18747889, 10 months agoTells you to activate and there's no option to get free access as the page doesn't work
"An error occurred during a connection to dearrow.ajay.app."
e/ I'd suggest allowing access to addon in some way without connecting to a website so that the addon is usable for people facing similar issueDeveloper response
posted 10 months agoIt sounds like something on your network is disallowing connections to dearrow.ajay.app
If you aren't able to use the free access system, try using this key: Fbmzg-7c642 - Rated 4 out of 5by Tyrand, 10 months agoNot nearly as useful as SponsorBlock.
Perfectly adequate not-clickbait titles keep getting changed into generic titles
Takes too many clicks to downvote a bad title. - Rated 5 out of 5by Killerhurtz, a year ago15 seconds into the free 60 minute trial and my youtube front page was already so much more pleasant that I sprung for the $1 license.
I expected nothing less from the dev of SponsorBlock :) - Rated 5 out of 5by gorp, a year ago
