Review Summary
Clickbait Remover for Youtube is praised for effectively eliminating misleading thumbnails and poor capitalization in titles, which enhances user experience and browsing efficiency. Users find it lightweight and better performing than alternatives. However, it occasionally misses clickbait on certain channels and removes important thumbnails from live streams, creating gray placeholders. The extension has seen little recent development, leading to partial failures, and lacks desired features such as channel whitelisting and selective blocking. Overall, it significantly reduces clickbait annoyance but could benefit from updates and added customization.
