Fantastic App
This is such a useful tool. I watch a lot of YouTube and I get sick of all of the clickbait and want to stop doomscrolling - this definitely helps.
A suggestion for an added featured (not sure if it’s possible) would be to remove all YouTube Shorts, as YouTube is really pushing those now.

Not perfect, but pretty good!
Great, but not perfect for all videos. I.e., "Why I no longer [x]" titles typically stay the same, but are still clickbaity. Would be nice to integrate some basic AI rewriting to make all titles third person (as opposed to first/second) and just summarize the core argument of the video, perhaps based on transcripts. Would happily pay more for that!

We actually are trying to make titles in first person, or passive voice. Trying to stay with the YouTube format
Well, look at you go!

[no longer] Slow/buggy on Safari
Leaving the original review below but updating to 5 stars because it is now loading thumbnails correctly on Safari on my setup.
First of all, this plugin is a godsend for anyone tired of clickbaity content on YouTube. I use this plugin on every browser I have on my Mac (Firefox, Arc, Safari). I mainly use Safari but have come to notice that the plugin works flawlessly and very quickly on both Firefox and Arc, but it is not ideal on Safari. I imagine it has something to do with Webkit vs Gecko and/or Blink development stuff but I do wish it performed better on Safari.
Currently, I have to enter Youtube once to load the page (where only the top row of videos will show generated thumbnails), then refresh the page to make all the other videos generate thumbnails (which sometimes changes the videos recommended as well on the home page). Then if I doom scroll far enough to get more videos to pop-up I have to refresh again for those thumbnails too (which is pointless since it puts you back to the top of the home page with new recommendations).
It's still worth paying for the support but man, not ideal.

Great app to help clean up YouTube
Makes YouTube videos way less stimulating, and I like that you can submit titles here (would love if SponsorBlock could do this on mobile).
One feature request I would like to see is the ability to automatically remove channel names and series names from the title of the video

good
Everything is great, execpt the thumbnail generation service. This function make the youtube experience horrible, take soooo long to load youtube page, after change to never, everything are snappy now.
Get rid of face fatigue.
They should just call this app the Beast Face Scrub extension. Getting that guys face out of my face is practically worth the cost of this app.
I want to love it but
Causes constant tab freezes and crashes, sometimes even takes the whole browser down with it, great idea but poor execution

Version 1.4 should improve performance using a different fallback mechanism
