Most of the time this addon does not work. It doesn't recognise abbreviations or model names of products, so it makes the titles harder to read. DeArrow is much more effective.

It does the job and efficiently. As soon as it's on I compared the result with a private tab (didn't allow the extension on it) and it's obvious the difference it makes in my ability to focus instead of having clickbait bs on my screen. This is immediately going on all my devices, alongside Ublock and Sponsorblock.
